HPLIP

Error in the 'make install', last step

Asked by bobca

I'm trying to install hplip 2.7.12 from the tar.gz distribution (manual method).
My system is openSuSE 10.3
I downloaded & uncompressed th archive.
I did the required ./configure, it worked fine.
I did the 'make', it worked fine.
Now for the bug :
su -c "make install"
says a lot of good stuff and finishes with:
================================
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/cupsext.so /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cupsext.so
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/cupsext.lai /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cupsext.la
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `.libs/cupsext.lai': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [install-cupsextLTLIBRARIES] Erreur 1
make[1]: quittant le répertoire « /home/elisabeth/packages/hplip-2.7.12 »
make: *** [install-am] Erreur 2
================================
I think there is a typo somewhere in the Makefile. I have a hidden .libs dir, but no cupext.lai there. I got a cupsext.la file within the initial dir.

In the hplip source directory can you run

python ./check.py -t

and post the output?

Thanks.

Also please run

ls | grep log

in the source directory and upload the latest log file.

You could try using the automatic installer, which does work with suse 10.3.

You could also try using the 2.7.10 RPM created by Johannes.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/

Which is entirely experimental of course.

Hopefully one of these options will resolve your problem.
