Getting OWFS running on RPi

[pmk]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this ....... I am a complete novice !!

I have been trying to get OWFS to run on the RPi but not getting very far. I want to use OWFS via a USB 1-wire convertor to read temperatures etc.

Has anybody done this or know if it is even possible ?

I think I will need to build it for the RPi, found this but not sure where to start ....

Install debian
Did not configure mail
apt-get install g++ make python python-dev ssh autoconf swig
apt-get install kernel-headers-x.x.xx (in my case 2.4.27-2-386)
mkdir build
cd build
wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sour ... 5.2.tar.gz
tar -zxvf fuse-2.5.2.tar.gz
cd fuse-2.5.2
./configure
make
su -c "make install"
cd ../
wget http://superb.dl.sourceforge.net/source ... 2p3.tar.gz
tar -zxvf owfs-2.2p3.tar.gz
cd owfs-2.2p3
./configure
make && su -c "make install"

Can someone please help me or at least point me in the right direction.

Ta, Paul

Hi,

I have som trouble of getting OWFS installed om my rasperberry pi with the debian image,
two mounths ago I installed the same owfs on my other debianserver, with no problems.

My final goal is to run a it with owfs and rrd so I can in my fathers summerhouse capture the temperature and send it to my debian server at home, and present it with my other ds18b20.

My troble is that I cant manage to do the owfs install complete.
It says that 'owpython is DISABLED' and I cant find it in /opt/owfs.

Can someone help?
pls.

I fixed it my self.
solved.

It turned out that the owfs was installed (it looks to me) correctly.
But it was defined to other path than in fullversion debian 6.0.

This worked for me:
/usr/bin/owfs -u --allow_other /mnt/1wire/

Instead of, as in the how-to:
/opt/owfs/bin -u --allow_other /mnt/1wire/

For me, it works just fine now...

Good luck out there!
