Re: [hpoj-devel] Library Problems with install

When you invoke "make install", the message telling you to add /usr/local/lib
to /etc/ld.so.conf and run "ldconfig" is simply a reminder of the next step
in the installation process, not an error.  Once you've done this next step
(which it sounds like you have), you can verify that it works by saying
"ldd /usr/local/bin/ptal-connect".  You should see a line like:
	libptal.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libptal.so.0 (0x40015000)
The number in parentheses may be different.  On the other hand, if this line
says something like "not found", then something's wrong.

Strange.  "ldconfig -D" reports many of the same errors on my system too.
I don't think it's anything to worry about, though.  I've never used the
-D switch, though.  When I want to verify things after running "ldconfig",
I normally run "ldconfig -p".

I don't think it's necessary here, but for future reference, the basic
procedure is to move the mouse to the start of the text you want to copy,
hold down the left button while you drag the mouse to the end of the text,
and release the button.  Then move the mouse to where you want to paste the
text, and click the middle button once.  If your mouse has two buttons
instead of three, then you can simulate the middle button by pressing both
buttons at the same time, if your X server is configured properly.

It sounds to me like you've done everything correctly so far.  If you haven't
already, you can now proceed with the "SCAN-HOWTO" file so that you can
finally scan on your 1150C.  Let me know how that goes.  :-)
