SUPER EXPRESS INSTALLATION FOR TERMINALLY IMPATIENT SYSADMINS
The "STANDARD configuration" is the most common configuration for UNIX/LINUX
systems:
- /etc/printcap, /etc/lpd.conf, /etc/lpd.perms configuration files
- executables in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin
Now this is not correct. I build it first with the commands
./configure
make
make install
and it puts everything under /usr/local not /usr as the INSTALL says so the
STANDARD configuration appears to be --prefix=/usr/local
Next I build it with
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-lpd_conf_path=/etc \
--with-printcap_path=/etc --with-lpd_perms_path=/etc \
--disable-ssl
make
make install
This time it does put things in /usr but does not run.
I try /usr/sbin/lpd and get
2002-09-22-16:58:59.844 Read_file_list: cannot stat required or
included file '/usr/local/etc/lpd.conf' - No such file or directory
all on one line but split here for convenience.
Why is it trying to open a file in /usr/local/etc when the default is
/etc and I told it to use /etc.
What is more, I cannot find the string /usr/local/etc/lpd.conf anywhere in
the code so what is going on. Needless to say it is also not included in
/etc/lpd.conf
I don't have LPD_CONF set to anything but I try that it is ignored.
Best wishes...
Colin Bruce
