Digital BW, The Print

Everything goes well until I get to "sh make-quadtonerip".  I press
enter and get some error messages.  I'm not sure where to look to fix
it.  The install instructions say it's usually due to a missing
cups-config but right at the start I did "locate cups-conf" and
/usr/bin/cups-config turned up on the list.  The error messages I get are:

[root@localhost share]# cd QuadToneRIP2-beta/
[root@localhost QuadToneRIP2-beta]# ls
CurveDesign          make-quadtonerip  QTR-LinuxNotes.pdf

CurveSrc             PPDs              quad.convs
Gimp-Print-Info.pdf  Profiles          RasterSrc
install-quadtonerip  qpr               ReadMe.html
[root@localhost QuadToneRIP2-beta]# sh make-quadtonerip
cc -g -O   -c -o qline.o qline.c

quadraster.o quadras
ter.c

make: *** [quadraster.o] Error 127
[root@localhost QuadToneRIP2-beta]#


Any help sure would be appreciated.  I'm gettin' close.

Thanks,

Tom

It looks like you are missing the C compiler. When you loaded redhat did
you load the development package? If not you need to go back to the
installation media and install the C compiler. Once that is done you
should be able to complete the installation.

As Roger said you are muxt be missing C compiler. One note to add 
which might be of some help later: you may also have to give the 
relative paths to these executive scripts. For me, this was the case 
at the next stage where i had to run ¨./sh install-quadtonerip¨ or 
¨sh ./install-quadtonerip¨ to have it run (i don´t remeber which 
one) while the instruction manual that comes with the software does 
not mention this possibility and without giving the relative path, i 
was getting the error ¨command not found¨.

Thanks Roger and Ramin.  Back to the manuals and web sites as I
haven't a clue what the C compiler is but, heck, I didn't have a clue
about Linux a month ago so this too will be overcome.  The C compiler
would be on which of the three disks?  Do I boot up with #1 again and
look for it?  I'll keep the relative path thing in mind too.  This has
been a real learning experience.

Thanks again,

Tom

On my Mandrake box, i have already installed the kernel sources 
which include all libraries/compilers to compile programs.  
I used redhat a while ago and if i remembercorrectly, the kernel 
sources were not on the first three disks. I would advise you to ask 
poeple on linux forums or rehdat-specific forums as to where to find 
the kernel sources. I would also suggest to install all of the 
kernel sources not just this paricular library as you may need them 
later for compiling other programs. 
  Alternatively, do a google search on for example for ¨where is the 
kernel source for redhat¨ or similar terms.

Again, thanks a lot!  I'm off to do some homework.

Tom

Hi Tom,

I think this will get you passed the compiler problem. Either sign on as
root or su so that you have administrative privileges. On the second disk go
to red Hat and then rpms. There are a series of rpms starting with gcc
Those are elements of the c compiler.  The easiest way to install them would
be to cd to the cd rom (cd /mnt/cdrom) then run "rpm -Uvh gcc*" (leave off
the quotes) and it should load all of the gcc files. Once all of those are
in you should have a functioning c compiler and QTR should load. The problem
is that the installation of QTR is not just sticking a bunch of programs in
as is done with windows rather you are compiling the programs from their
source (written in the c language) and then installing the various elements
that have been compiled for your system. If the compiler is missing when you
run the make file it complains it can't do it.

Roger

Thanks, again, Roger!  It's making some sense.  I wonder why the 
compiler wasn't loaded when I installed Linux?  The RH9 CDs aren't 
from Redhat, I burned an ISO image from the net (linuxiso.org).  
Would that have anything to do with it?  In any case I'll try your 
suggestion tonight.

I really appreciate your help.

Tom

The discs you burned from the iso's are pretty much the same as you would
have found in a boxed set. When you install redhat you have three or four
choices. Desktop, server something else I don't remember and custom. The
desktop setting is default and loads a graphical system without a lot of the
power tools. It is pretty much designed to provide an office type system
with word processing etc. but doesn't provide c, perl and a number of other
things that can be useful. The custom setting lets you load pretty much what
you want from the distribution disks and includes a segment called
development - that is what contains the c compiler and a number of other
things.

Tom,

I got the C compiler and other development tools, by installing 
Redhat Linux 9 with the "Developer tools" option.  As I recall there 
are 3 or 4 options for doing the install.  And you need the one with 
the developer tools because it has the C compiler and other stuff 
you need.

PS> despite successfully building QTR, I never did get it to print 
correctly.  I never got it to print through QTCups-- clicking on 
print just never produced any output to the printer.  I finally got 
it to print by using an lpr command line script someone on this 
forum wrote, but the output I got was completely messed up.  
Something was very wrong-- The print was a strange color of green 
and had lots of banding on it.  For now I've given up on QTR and I 
am trying the demo version of ImagePrint.  Too bad, I spent a lot of 
time on QTR and people on this forum helped me (which I 
appreciate!).  I also appreciate peoples' efforts in building a tool 
like QTR and releasing it to the public.  But I never got it to work 
properly despite their help.  I hope that you have better luck!

I really appreciate everyones help but I'm about to call it quits on
installing QTR in my Redhat 9.  I've followed all the suggestions and
am still getting errors when I do "sh make-quadtonerip".  I tried
running "rpm -Uvh gcc*" to solve the compiler problem but got a bunch
of dependancies.  I tried running all the rpm files and some loaded
but still others had dependancy errors.

I think I went wrong when I didn't install everything right at the
beginning.  I went with the desktop choice or something like that.  I
guess I could delete everything and reload RH9 but, truthfully, I'm
not sure I'm up to it.

Thanks, again, for the help.

Tom

Tom,
It can be frustrating to get this going, for me it has been worth 
it.  I think the QTR2 prints look great.  I am running QTR2 in 
Redhat 9 on a 2200 with UC inks.  The full install plan will work 
well if you have the disk space.  When I get into a Linux jam I 
often find what I need in the "Linux Newbie Administrator
Guide" at http://linux-newbie.sunsite.dk/ .  Lots of good info,
and not too long (great black and white image on the cover too ;).  
Chapter 5 is especially helpful.  

Good Luck!
Mike

Hey Tom,

Let me preach a bit.

You can do a reinstall in less than an hour. It will be worth the time
and trouble. This time choose custom and make sure you load the
development module. Once you get that done QTR will go in like butter. 

When I was putting together my pretty lame how to I reinstalled the damn
thing more times than I care to remember in order to try to find the
problem spots. I obviously forgot to mention the need to load the
development module.The end result though is a print engine that sings.

On the other hand I tried Fedora and could never get the 2200 to work.
My 860 worked fine and the 2200 didn't. I moved back to RH 9 and it just
fell together.

Put it aside for a day and let the frustration subside then make it
work.It still is a lot easier than fighting windows....

Consider that using wine you can load photoshop into linux and print
using QTR - almost as easy as with a mac. There are a few windows aps I
still need to use but for the majority of what I do my linux box is the
system.

No question, if I were starting from scratch I would go with a mac but
for more compute power and a very similar operating system and a lot
less money linux is a reasonable substitute.

Roger

I would suggest you to try Mandrake. It has an improved rpm 
software installer that checks the dependencies automaticly. 
It is called urpmi. Mandrake has a free download version as well 
though i don´t know if it contains the kernel sources, however i 
believe you can find it as well since if i understand correctly, all 
linux distros are obliged to provide the sources for free according 
to GNU public licence. 
  On version 9.2, i have successfully installed QuadTOneRIP, but 
since i haven´t still purchased the printer(!), i can not say for 
sure that every thing will work as it should. Let´s just hope.

You know, I just couldn't give up.  I reinstalled Redhat 9 and chose
everything except the server stuff.  I'll attempt another QTR
installation so we'll see what happens.

I've heard good things about Mandrake.  Did QTR install the same as
Redhat?  What printer are you thinking of buying?

Right Roger.  Like a said to Ramin, I had to try again.  Thanks for
the sermon.  Photoshop in linux?  Full blown with all the functions? 
Now that would be cool.  The workflow going from windows to linux is a
pain.

Hi Tom,

I run Photoshop 7.0 with a number of Andromeda plug ins as as well as
the pixelGenius package - in linux. There is one bug that is easily
worked around if you want to print directly from pshop but it is
actually easier to use a command line script - much like going through
the mac print routine.

I've been experimenting some more with coLinux lately, and basically
it's up and running with networking enabled and functional. It doesn't
have USB support though, so I plan to network the printer from windows
to linux. That means you will print to the virtual linux machine which
will rip the print job and then send the result back to windows for
printing. I had this setup working in VMware once, so I think I should
be able to get it working again.

coLinux seems to be able to distribute a completely preconfigured linux
image, and hopefully this will ease the installation problems for new
QTR users considerably, and let you work in a familiar windows
environment.

The only thing that will need to be configured for each user is
networking, since this setup will vary from computer to computer.

The beauty of the *nix OS'es is that unlke windows you don't have to totally
re-isntall the OS, if you missed something then install it in addition.
Linux, Unix, Irix etc do need more work to be setup, but once done
maintenance is much less and things usually work as they should.

I'm surprised to hear hat you had dependencies problems as using the
interactive RPM management usually outlines/identifies the dependencies and
helps you to locate them. I've got much more experience with SGI Irix, but
both it's gui based "software manager" and console based "inst" software
installer lists the dependencies.

The limited recent experience (over 8 months ago) I have with Redhat 8.0 RPM
manager seemed to work well also in this regard. It's not like windows where
when thing go belly up and they recommend a complete re-install. Stick with
your current install and add what you need. Reading docs also helps heaps as
the OS gives you much more control, you just need to take the bull by the
horns. Rememer you've been on a really steep learning curve and should be
really inpressed with what you've achieved thus far. You will be surprised
sometimes with te number of dependencies you encounter, this is normal and
can only get distressing if disk space is starting to become an issue.

Hi Ramin,

Just for the fun of it I downloaded mandrake 9.2 and installed it. It seems
to me that the problem I have had with Mandrake all along as a distro for
QTR hasn't been solved. That is, it doesn't have cups-config. In going
through the rpms there is no cups-devel package. The net result is that the
install of QTR doesn't work correctly. Am I missing something? I certainly
am not very familiar with Mandrake and could easily have overlooked
something.

Roger

    I would suggest you to try Mandrake. It has an improved rpm
  software installer that checks the dependencies automaticly.
  It is called urpmi. Mandrake has a free download version as well
  though i don´t know if it contains the kernel sources, however i
  believe you can find it as well since if i understand correctly, all
  linux distros are obliged to provide the sources for free according
  to GNU public licence.
    On version 9.2, i have successfully installed QuadTOneRIP, but
  since i haven´t still purchased the printer(!), i can not say for
  sure that every thing will work as it should. Let´s just hope.
    Regards, Ramin

Hi Roger,  
  A quick google search for ¨libcups2-devel mandrake 9.2¨ 
provided me with 
http://rpmfind.rediris.es/rpm2html/mandrake-9.2/libcups2-devel-1.1.19-10mdk=
.i586.html 
   
Enjoy it!  Ramin
