I'll bet you've done what I've done in the past- run the install using the defaults. If you do, then you probably need to remove/rename the original lpr, lpd, lpq, lprm, (in usr/bin & usr/sbin) and either copy the lprng equivalents to those dir's or create symbolic links to them. That's my preference, as you won't end up with multiple copies of executables to bite you later on...
Here's the contents of my "postup" file, which I run after upgrading my OpenBSD distro. Upgrades overwrite the lprng links in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. This restores them. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; cd /usr/bin mv lp lp.org mv lpq lpq.org mv lpr lpr.org mv lprm lprm.org mv lpstat lpstat.org cd /usr/sbin mv lp lp.org mv lp lp.org mv lp lp.orgrm lpc rm lpd rm lpracct ln -s /usr/local/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpq /usr/bin/lpq ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr ln -s /usr/local/bin/lprm /usr/bin/lprm ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpstat /usr/bin/lpstat ln -s /usr/local/sbin/lpc /usr/sbin/lpc ln -s /usr/local/sbin/lpd /usr/sbin/lpd ln -s /usr/local/sbin/lpraccnt /usr/sbin/lpraccnt ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Copy the section above to a file called "postup' in a directory that allows execution. Then cd to that directory, type in ./postup to run it. NOTES: Be sure postup actually points to the dir's where the lp/lprng executables are. Correct the lines before you run it, or it won't work...I'm not sure where the defaults for Mandrake's lp installation are. Verify before you change it. Be sure you stop all lp-related daemons before running ./postup Jim > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Tremblay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2002 2:12 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: LPRng: lprng, lpr not found on make install > > > I downloaded the newest version of Lprng.
