Omega2 gcc package installation failure

[Armstead Smith]

I followed the instructions on https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/c-compiler-on-omega.html#compiling-a-c-program-1

My omega2 has a USB overlay mounted on root for extra storage. I created a swapfile on the same USB for extra memory:

After edits to /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf, I issue:

opkg update
opkg install gcc

I get the following:

Installing gcc (5.4.0-2) to root...
Downloading http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/gcc_5.4.0-2_mipsel_24kc.ipk
Collected errors:

• opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/gcc_5.4.0-2_mipsel_24kc.ipk, wget returned 3.
• opkg_install_pkg: Failed to download gcc. Perhaps you need to run 'opkg update'?
• opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package gcc.

Anyone else see this and is there a fix?

[Armstead Smith]

I didn't show the opkg update output, but it has:
Downloading http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/base/Packages.gz
Updated list of available packages in /var/opkg-lists/reboot_base

RESOLVED
cd /
wget http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/gcc_5.4.0-2_mipsel_24kc.ipk
opkg update
opkg install gcc_5.4.0-2_mipsel_24kc.ipk

Now local gcc and g++ work.

add this line :
src/gz omega2_test http://repo.onion.io/omega2/test/packages
to:
/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf

opkg update
opkg install gcc
opkg install make

Now http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/gcc_5.4.0-2_mipsel_24kc.ipk this link is broken and i found this solution, it works for me.
