-With the 'bollocks' style (building direct on the Pandora), it's recommended to ssh in and use a root overlay when installing these packages in case of breakage.  As of 2011-03-28, it was necessary to run:  opkg install libncurses5, or else it gets lost with severe consequences.  So, better do that first.  Something seems to be broken with the libpng packaging also.  I found that the www.angstrom-distribution.org repo was very slow, so changed everything in /etc/opkg/ to use us.feeds.angstrom-distribution.org instead.
