Re: Cups Printing

[Ron Georgia <netverbs%gmail.com@localhost>]

First, I would like to apologize for the massively ugly email. I was using claw mail.
Second, Greg, that worked! Thank you so much.
Third, this is one reason why I love NetBSD... the community.

Now if I can just get mutt to send gmail... working on it.

Thanks again.

    I don't know what you mean here, but that sounds like a bad idea
    (messing with the control files of pkgsrc).
    
    So if you did mv of that to someplace, I would put it back.
    
    And then
    
      pkg_admin rebuild # like fsck
      pkg_admin rebuild-tree # like fsck 
    
      rm -rf /usr/pkgsrc/*/*/work
    
      pkg_delete osabi-NetBSD
    
      (and you may need to use a different name, and see what's installed.
      If you can't delete it because something depends on it, go to the
      osabi source dir and "make replace clean" and then do that for the
      things that depended on it.
    
      Then try to build cups again.
    
    I think you are probably just suffering from the overzealous osabi
    issue, which is hard to fix in a general safe way, after 8.0 to
    current.  But there, is isn't wrong.
    
    You may also be suffering from ghostscript-agpl/ghostscript-gpl.
    Decide which you want and set the gstype option to one of the
    following.  The default changed fairly recently.
    
    PKG_OPTIONS.gs_type=		ghostscript-agpl
    PKG_OPTIONS.gs_type=		ghostscript-gpl
    
    After all that, stop and post the first error you don't understand, and
    try to not wrap the text, if that's doable with your mailer.
