hplip install v3.12.4 from hp: help!

[tonyb]

Mageia2 beta 3 x89_64
Needed 3.12.4 for my Hp officejet pro 8600 plus.
1. downloaded source from hp
2. used to following from an hp 'mandriva 2010.0 and above' howto:

su - -c "urpmi --allow-force --force --auto cups cups-common libcups2-devel libcups2 libdbus-1-devel python-gobject gcc-c++ ghostscript libopenssl0.9.8-devel libjpeg-devel libnet-snmp-devel glibc-i18ndata glibc_lsb libtool libgphoto-devel libusb1.0-devel make python-imaging policykit policykit-gnome python-qt4 qt4-qtdbus python-dbus libpython2.6-devel python python-reportlab saned libsane1-devel sane-backends libsane1 xsane sane-frontends"

later in that script, used:
64 bit distro users:
./configure --with-hpppddir=/usr/share/ppd/HP --libdir=/usr/lib64 --prefix=/usr --enable-qt4 --enable-doc-build --disable-cups-ppd-install --disable-foomatic-drv-install --disable-foomatic-ppd-install --disable-hpijs-install --disable-policykit --enable-cups-drv-install --enable-hpcups-install --enable-network-build --enable-dbus-build --enable-scan-build --enable-fax-build

get most of the way there, then:
checking for net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h... yes
checking for cupsDoFileRequest in -lcups... no
configure: error: cannot find libcups support

package seems to be there:
# urpmi libcups2
Package libcups2-1.5.2-3.mga2.i586 is already installed

Thought it wanted the 64 bit lib, installed it:
# urpmi lib64cups2
Package lib64cups2-1.5.2-3.mga2.x86_64 is already installed


This process worked on mageia1, don't know why its failing in m2beta3. Ideas?

[djennings]

You need the devel package
lib64cups2-devel

[tonyb]

installled it at some point:
# urpmi lib64cups2-devel
Package lib64cups2-devel-1.5.2-3.mga2.x86_64 is already installed


configure runs OK for a while, then:

checking for host machine platform... x86_64
checking for CRYPTO_free in -lcrypto... yes
checking for snmp_timeout in -lnetsnmp... no
checking for snmp_timeout in -lsnmp... no
configure: error: cannot find net/ucd-snmp support (or --disable-network-build)

So: tracked down that I needed:
# urpmi lib64net-snmp-devel
To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed:
Package Version Release Arch
(medium "Core Release (distrib1)")
lib64lm_sensors-devel 3.3.2 5.mga2 x86_64
lib64net-snmp-devel 5.7.1 1.mga2 x86_64
lib64wrap-devel 7.6 42.mga1 x86_64

completes, re-run config, terminates with same error message as above.
Could use some further ideas!

Just shooting in the dark here but have you got net-snmp and libnet-snmp installed?

[doktor5000]

Do you have any particular reason to install hplip from source, if i may ask?

[djennings]

If you look in the spec file for the Mageia package in SVN you can see what packages are needed to build hplip

Code: Select all

Maybe the easiest way to pull all required dependencies would be to download the src.rpm and use urpmi to get all in one go, like so:

Code: Select all

wget ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/mirrors/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/SRPMS/core/release/hplip-3.12.2-3.mga2.src.rpm && urpmi --buildrequires hplip-3.12.2-3.mga2.src.rpm

I also need this version of hplip for the m1132 HP printer.
So i already attemped to build the hplip 3.12.4.
I download as you proposed the src rpm.
Then i tried the first step of the hplip 3.12.4 installation process as explained :
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/in ... driva.html
At the step of the ./configure process, i get the following message :

configure: error: cannot find libusb support

However I installed all libusb available from cauldron

What am I doing wrong ?

[smoreau]

Looking for libusb :
libusb-compat0.1-devel-0.1.3-6.mga2.i586 already installed
Is this one the expected version ?

[tonyb]

I got it built. See the scripts I put in the original post, see also the packages listed a little above this. In addition to those packages, I also needed to install libsane-devel. Don't recall if these was anything else just for usb.

From the look of your ./configure script output, these are quite a few 'no' responses, so suggest you do all this and re-try.
It works, but you do have to follow the post-install things in the HP script I think I referenced originally.

[tonyb]

No, I hadn't put in the HP reference, but you'll need to do the stuff at the end of this after building and installing:

I've bug-reported this and with any luck the 3.12.4 version will be in the RC due out in days, so you could wait until then.

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5619

[smoreau]

Many thanks for the suggestions. I will wait for RC.

[doktor5000]

FWIW Thomas Backlund was so kind and pushed new hplip-3.12.4 packages to core/updates_testing in cauldron so people could actually test.

So guys and gals, please test and give some feedback. The plugin issue which Serge reported is still unfixed because i need help in diagnosing the cause of this, or at least the terminal output of the plugin installation, hopefully showing some error message.

Mika Laitio already reported it to be working fine with an HP Color laserjet-cm1312nfi

[smoreau]

The plugin issue which Serge reported is still unfixed because i need help in diagnosing the cause of this, or at least the terminal output of the plugin installation, hopefully showing some error message.

Many thanks for your help. I will be able to test the RC at the beginning of next week with the HP m1132. Could you explain me how to get efficient error messages during plugin installation ?

[doktor5000]

Run the plugin installation from a terminal, probably like this:

Code: Select all

hp-plugin -g

This enables debug logging level and will hopefully provide helpful insight what the problem is.
Maybe you need to run this as root, but first try as a normal user and post the results in the bugreport.
