All, I have been attempting to install Roy Harrington's QuadTone RIP software on Redhat Linux, and I need your help! I think I have everything right expect that CUPS doesn't seem to be installed correctly and so quadtone RIP won't build. I have followed the instructions in QTR-LinuxNotes.pdf. I have downloaded and installed webmin, quad.convs per instructions. My Redhat installation (9.0) seems to have CUPS installed as I was able to do a test print on my Epson 2200 and the test page said it was using CUPS 1.1.x. I have gotten to the point of running the make script (install- quadtonerip). The script compiled all the modules but had shell errors with cups-config: "/bin/sh: line 1: cups-config: command not found" Make still continued but failed when the linker tried to pull in the cups library: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcups" This seems like I do not have the development version of CUPS installed, even if I can print OK. So I downloaded cups-devel- 1.1.20-1.i386.rpm and installed it using rpm. That looked like it worked though it gave a warning that some files conflicted with the earlier installed version of CUPS files. I then re-ran the install-quadtonerip script (after doing a make clean on both src directories). Still no dice, same errors. I did a find for "libcups.a" as well as "cups-config" and neither could be found. (though I do have the shared lib libcups.so.2). I also did a locate cups-conf and it does not find the file in /usr/bin as it is supposed to be. I'm out of ideas but I think I'm pretty close to getting this built. Help please! Thanks -North Krimsly
