Hello All,
Has anyone installed gutenprint on a FC5 box? Does it work well?
Should it be avoided? I'm about to give it a shot in order to use a
printer that is supported in gutenprint, but not in the gimp-print
package in FC5.
Also, are there any rpms out there? I haven't been able to find any so
far.
There's a gutenprint RPM for FC5 in the extras-development
repository. You'll need to enable both "development" and
"extras-development" to get the RPM to install because it
needs the latest glibc from development.
yum --enablerepo=development --enablerepo=extras-development install
gutenprint
extras-development is Extras for Rawhide, not Extras for FC5. It
contains packages built against Rawhide since around the end of August.
Whilst the majority of the packages there are FC6-compatible and some
may even be FC5-compatible, they will move towards FC7-compatibility
over the next few months (i.e. they may require more and more
dependecies from Rawhide (such as glibc) as time goes on.
