Yesterday I posted the following to omniprint-user - there seems to be noone who can say something to the mentioned problems... Therefore here the re-posting on the developer list. Really, any help is welcome... Regards, Gottfried ----------------------------------------- Hi all, in short: I have two problems: 1. after compiling and linking of omni, filter "CUPSToOmni" or "GenerateOmniPPDs" coredumps when called on command line. My debugger dbx tells me the following: ----- root@zvkoffice:/usr/lib/cups/filter# dbx -r ./CUPSToOmni Entering debugger ... Type 'help' for help. reading symbolic information ... Trace/BPT trap in __start at 0x10000128 0x10000128 (__start) 82220024 lwz r17,0x24(r2) (dbx) next Segmentation fault in glink.free at 0xd1353f08 0xd1353f08 (free+0x30) 800c0000 lwz r0,0x0(r12) (dbx) root@zvkoffice:/zvk/admin/install/ghostscript/espgs-7.05.6/Omni/CUPS# dbx -r ./GenerateOmniPPDs Entering debugger ...

The cups debug output looks like this: ----- ...

Because they have not been installed with "make install", I copied them manually to /usr/lib/ and changed their name to *.so. During compilation I had to change some includes in the cpp sources: In all cases of "`strcasecmp' undeclared" - adding of #include </usr/include/strings.h> In all cases of "'fcntl' undeclared" - adding of #include </usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0/2.95.3/include/stdlib.h> With this environment and the above changes omni has been compiled and linked without any errors. Because of the dumping of "GenerateOmniPPDs" I have compiled the same omni sources under linux and used this build to generate the ppd's. One of them has been used in testing cups/ghostscript/omni printing: *ShortNickName: "Epson DFX-8500, Foomatic + omni" *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 100 CUPSToOmni" Ghostscript has been configured with: /configure --with-fontpath="/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts" --prefix=/usr/local --with-omni Because I used ESP-Ghostscript the nessecary omni patches seem to be applied - I checked this by trying to patch the sources with the last patch, included in Omni. What I don't understand is, why I don't see any corefile when "CUPSToOmni" is called by CUPS - and why I don't see any (heavy) error in the CUPS debug log. And I had expected to see in the log something like (from an other posting): gs -sDEVICE=_omni_ -sDeviceName=XMLOmniDevice -sproperties='XMLMasterFile="Epson LQ-570+.xml"' -sOutputFile=temp.lpr temp.ps Any help is greatly welcome - I need this DFX-8500 printer and neither ESP Print Pro (is used on the same system) nor linuxprinting.org (foomatic-rip - is also used) supports him (well). In detail: Print Pro has no support and the ppd "Generic ESC/P Dot Matrix Printer Foomatic/epson (recommended)" works not very well. Regards, Gottfried |
