Help installing a driver
I'm trying to install a printer driver from a tar file and need some help installing it I got out the book but it doesn't have much on installing tar. This is what I did and what happened # tar xzf install_drv_z42-0.

Dapper this is what I get from the terminal but if I try to install the package by double clicking the icon it says that the package is already installed. Is there a way around this. If I'm understanding this package it is for help on installing or running a GUI package. Since all is I want is to install a driver I shouldn't need the pkgconfig anyway's correct?? ;(
Or am I missing something here :x

Oops, I'm sorry, I missed this latest post of yours until now. I didn't mean to ignore you..
Try:
rpm -ivh pkgconfig-0.14.0-3.i386.rpm [enter]
And you are attempting to install pkgconfig rpm from the same directory where you downloaded it to?
...apt-get could sure get all this squared away in a hurry...

Sorry myself I worked throught he last error message. This is what I get now when I go try and install it it say's that the package is already installed??? I updated synaptic and tried again with the same results.

When looking in synaptic for the gtk-config package it is not listed but when I download the rpm and install it it tells me that it is already installed.
When serching synaptic for GTK+ it shows this package gtk+devel which is installed.
At the end of the error it reads Is gtk-config in path? how do I check for that?
Glad you came back I thought I scared you away

If I'm reading the error correctly, I'ts looking for a later version of GTK. Check and see if gtk2 is listed in your synaptic tree as being installed. If not, install it and try again. In fact, I would install gtk2-devel and anything listed that has a "gtk2" in it.
I ran into similar problems trying to install Icepref in redhat 9. I'm sorry to say I could never find a satisfactory answer for my problem. Maybe we'll be luckier and find a solution for yours.

I think I ran into a major snafu with this one. No matter what I do it tells me that gtk is installed but in terminal it say's its not???
I ran into this exact same thing with trying to compile Icepref in RH9. There's a lot out there on the net on this having gtk installed but it can't find it problem..wait, I might be able to find one of my old posts...
Yes!
Here's one, and here's another..
I know this won't help with the problem, but thought you might be interested anyway. Please let me know if you find a solution. Sorry I couldn't help more...
Yes!

Dan don't be sorry you helped me more in the last few weeks then anyone has over the last year it was a extreme pleasure to have someone take the time and help out rather then reply back RTFM. If I figure this out I will let you know what I did
Thanks Again

Wow. This is wild. The dude wanted to install a printer driver and everyone has him apt-getting gcc.
BLAG comes with the printer drivers for that printer, so even the "tar" step isn't needed.
Go to:
Menu->System Tools->Print Manager
And add it from there. You'll be able to pick Lexmark and your printer under there.

I'm not familiar with Blag. We sure could have used your help with this sooner..
