HPLIP

Installation make terminates with status code 2

Asked by jay on 2008-03-20

Hi
I'm trying to install 2.8.2 on Suse 10.3. There were some warnings as you can below. Eventually make failed with status code 2. Then I ran it a second time - result further below.

I checked the drv_dir warning. Looking at the usr/share/cups directory the likely correct path I guess should read "/usr/share/cups/drivers" which is present.
Where can I change the preset of the drv_dir directory?

Couldn't find the log files, where are they stored?
