Problems installing libieee

[Andreas_8]

I have a Canon N640P and wants to configure it. First try was downloading this:
--> libieee1284-0.1.6.
--> scan-4.1.tar
Can you say whats wrong with the installation of libieee?....Further informations follows. :-)) Thanks for helping a rookie. :-))

I see the output of your ./configure, did it compile?

( with many linux packages the sequence
$ configure
$ make
$ make check
make install
is used to compile and install packages. Specific sequence for a given package is usually given in the INSTALL or README file included in the tarball.)

It seems to compile correct till I use "make install". Then this error occures:

docbook2man -o doc doc/interface.sgml
make: docbook2man: Command not found
make: *** [doc/ieee1284_claim.3] Error 127

Do you know why???

Hi,
This second error mean that you need to install the tool docbook2man before installing these products.

Install this tool as an rpm or debian package, update the PATH, and the make should work !

hope that help

FWIW, the rpm to install is docbook-utils if you're on RedHat.
