Johannes,
Thank you for your good reply. I was missing libgphoto2-dev, that was all.
When I installed the HP package it downloaded a lot of packages (I
watched it) that I did not have but I guess that it did not check for
that particular one.

I kept on going to the libgphoto2 package, but the missing file is not
in that one, then I saw something in a google that looked like the
package was in the -dev package, downloaded it and installed it and
sure enough there it was.

Many thanks to you and others who have replied to me on this one.

I couldn´t figure out how to revive that message, so I´ve started this thread.
I have had my HP Color Laserjet 2605dn running under hplip 1.7.1 in
SuSE Linux 10.2 for a few months now and, quite frankly, I´ve just
yesterday botched the upgrade to hplip 2.7.7.  The first two times I
tried it, I got the error message: ¨error: 'make' command failed with
status code 2¨

The third time I tried this, it failed again, but I checked the log
and the end read:

¨usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libgphoto2.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libgphoto2.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make: *** [cupsext.la] Error 1¨

Deliberately (if unfortunately), I´ve already zapped the ¨untarred¨(?)
 hplip-2.7.7 directory from which I tried to install this version of
the software, and I assume that all the information in all three logs
from the first three attempts went with it.  So, there´s not much more
I can report on their contents (unless it´s somehow recoverable from
¨console logs¨?).
Like an unthinking moron I thought that the missing dependencies
(libtool, PIL, net-smp-devel, libgphoto2-devel) were being added from
the SuSE repositories on the first two attempts, yet I still got
sudden, messageless(!) halts in each install. Before the third
attempt, I manually compiled and installed this libtool and the PIL
(sources obtained from the sponsoring projects´ download sites) which,
it became obvious, weren´t being grabbed during the x-term process on
each prior occasion. It was only when I looked at the text of log 3
that I saw that the system had already done the configuration and the
´make clean´-process, as well as had installed some other dependency
software. The third attempt also failed. The text of the log, however,
ended as I indicate above.

I ¨untarred¨ again the zipfile that hplip-2.7.7 comes in for a fourth
attempt.  Now, however, when I do ./configure process, I get the
consistent error message: ¨tar:
hplip-2.7.7/[e.g.,data/images/scan_icon_]disabled.png: Cannot open: No
such file or directory¨ on EVERY SINGLE file in the directory.  And
not only in this tarball, but, seemingly, with other software that I
have since tried to ¨untar¨ (e.g., the libgphoto-source package that I
grabbed, again, from the project Web page).

So, I have two problems.  I´m now left without a printer functioning
under SuSE Linux 10.2. (Linux says it´s printing, but the printer
doesn´t.)  How can I fix it?
Two, what´s with the problem compiling software from source now???

Someone will no doubt reply to tell me I should have done the
¨upgrade¨ using the YAST/console combo technique given at
<http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/manual/distros/novell.html>, and
I´ll save them the trouble by saying I WOULD have done that from the
beginning if I had known about it.  I only later stumbled upon it,
and, in fact, I did try to use the dependency-installation parts
before I made  the fourth attempt from the directory of the ¨untarred¨
hplip-2.7.7 source. (Both PIL and libtool had already been
successfully installed from source at that point.)

Well, that was a whole lot of toil over 2 days or so for a now
disastrous result.

Why can´t I successfully compile (ANYTHING) from source any more?
What could I have done wrong there?

I need a rather speedy solution, ´cause in a few days I may, for
complicated local reasons, find myself cut from home Internet
connexion and I´d like to get the printer back up and running before
then.

Thanks alot.
