make: *** [foomatic-perl-data] Error 1

I found everything else needed so far to install my printer, but this one has me stumped.

while doing make for foomatic-db-engine, it stops with the above error. I have no clue as to what is needed now, can anyone help?

You have to post the full errors messages if you want to obtain help as Error 1 is not very precise to give an idea.

That IS the full (last) error message. Preceding on the cli page are a lot of foomatic-perl-data.c:3xxx errors.
Including foomatic-perl-data.c:3191: 'LIBXML_TEST_VERSION' undeclared (first use in this function)
and foomatic-perl-data.c:3159: request for member 'printers' in something not a structure or union
This is in Amigo, a shrunken version of Slackware9.1, and I cannot copy/paste from cli to this page.

Have you the libxml package installed ?
For error log you can do make > error.log, in this way all errors form output of make are in the file error.log

That error was fixed by re-installing.

still can't finish the printer install though, got cups started with "/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start", but when I try the advice on line 11 of http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...nting+in+Slack
it wants a password!
This is "go to admin page at http://localhost:631 and set up your printer."

Aaaarrrgh!

Mandrake was so much easier.

Someone must know a way around the login problem, help?

this is actually your root password

Mind-boggling.
It worked!

Thanks.

In maybe twenty years I might understand what I just did.

If you know how to configure httpd.conf you may edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to suit your wishes about web server protected directories (root password required). But if you satisfy that things work well, let it as this, it is secure.

yes, it works well. Will not mess with it.
