RE: [Digital BW] problems building quadtone rip on Linux; CUPS library

2004-04-19 by Roger L Sopher

Sounds to me that you don't have the C compiler installed. When you install
QTR you are actually programming the machine and it need the C compiler to
do so. Go to your installation media or to a mirror site and install the C
compiler. You will also need to install the cups-devel package so that
cups-config is available.

Once you get those two steps done QTR should install.

  Subject: [Digital BW] problems building quadtone rip on Linux; CUPS
library


  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
