<pre wrap="">Ok. Please have a look at the config file (icecast*.xml). In the <paths>
section there should be a <webroot> as well as a <adminroot> setting. Do
those point to existing directories with some *.xsl in them?
Another litte hint: apt-get install --reinstall ...
Have a nice day!

Hello Philipp. Thanks so much for the educatin about why not to build myself.
The error I was getting, from a browser when I tried to open the URL to my machine running Icecast, was a 404 error and a message that it couldn't find the XSLT files. I'll install the packaged build again later today and provide you exact error text, but I remember it saying it couldn't find or process the XSLT.
Would it be helpful for me to do an apt-get download icecast2 and somehow provide the resulting download to someone off-list so they can see what I got?

Hi all. I'm brand new to Linux and want to install Icecast 2.4.2 on Raspian.
I used apt-get to install Icecast 2.4.0, and the install would stream
music, but none of the status or admin pages would work. I ran the
install by typing sudo apt-get install icecast2 from ~.

<pre wrap="">Ok, that sounds right.
What error message you get when accessing those pages?

Anyone able to provide step-by-step instructions to unpack and build
from the tar.gz, or point me to a good tutorial online for doing such?
In particular, which directory should I be in to initiate the work? Do I
need to use sudo? Once installed, what do I do to make it run on system
boot? I will be running this install from a fresh image. Thanks!

<pre wrap="">I very much recommend against installing stuff from source. This is not
so much related to Icecast2 but a general statement.
The reasons why I recommend using pre-compiled packages are as the
following. The importance of individual aspects vary depending on your
situation.
* You will not get updates. You will likely never notice that
there are updates out there. This is a big problem as no
SECURITY fixes can reach you. Thus installing stuff from source
can be very harmful.
* Most people install stuff from source without verifying the
source. (Or have no way to really verify it at all as they're
(cryptographically speaking) too far away from the source. So
you will run a software that may be altered on it's path to you
(this includes everything from simple transmission errors to
attacks specially targeted to you). Thus you can not trust the
software most of the time. Once your ran any untrusted software
your system must be considered compromised.
* The package is made to fit your system while the source is not.
e.g. the package usually installs scripts and helper files to
e.g. start a daemon on system start up or intigrate with tools
like logrotate. You need to do all that yourself and may or may
not aware of all those things. See your question above. You have
asked for it already so you got this point already :).
* If people run the package provided by the OS it's more easy to
handle bugs. There is a single packet that you can report bugs
against and the maintainer can upstream bugs or cooperate with
upstream in any way to solve problems. If you run your own
package you need to take care yourself.
* You waste energy. Compiling is process taking a lot of energy.
And there is no reason for the mass do to this as the
pre-compiled binaries are matching your system virtually
perfectly. Energy is the ONLY single one resource on this planet
we are RUNNING OUT OF.
So for the reasons above I would prefer to work on fixing the problem
above and not go with source code. Plus I think you will learn a bit
about the system that is new to you. :)
Have a nice day! Awaiting your response with the error message(s).
