How to disable network-build?

drmjh · 07-23-2005, 05:23 AM

Hi,
I'm a newbie and this may be a too dumb question for this forum, but I need help.
I'm in the middle of a ./config hplip-0.9.4.tar.gz and got an error msg that I don;t know what to do about: " error: cannot find net-snmp support (or --disable-network-build) ".
I operate a solo computer and have no need for a network at this time.
Thanks for your help.
Matthew

"--disable-network-build" is a flag you can give at compiling time.
I don't know what this strange "config" script does, but you better untar (tar -xzvf hplip-0.9.4.tar.gz ) the file. Then in the directory, you should have a script named "configure" that you usually call in the same way as your "config" thing : use "./configure". But this one will take flags and arguement, so give it --disable-network-build (like : ./configure --disable-network-build ).

Then it should be fine.
