I wanted to set up my printer under 4.2.1 and I got this message: ** ERROR **: Unable to load printing system module cups_plugin.so I made this package, so I've known, the file was at the right place... I've run with strace and i've seen that I had been right: the file was found. But instead of this, writes the message above. I asked my friend to start the program and he got the quiet the same message, but the file_plugin.so was missing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I can send the strace output on Tuesday, because I'm not at my machine.
Fixed in ubuntu 7 hours before hoary release :) The Makefile.in files for both xfprint4 and xfprint-manager need -Wl,-E added to the LDFlags so they export their symbols to the plugin. The error was (not printed though) that cups_plugin.so could not resolve various symbols which it called in the two executables. Jani
-Wl,-E added, thx
