HP Remote Graphics 4.2.0 User's Guide

The install process requires a locally writable directory in which to build. Locate the support bundle in an appropriate directory before installation.

Use the following command to unpack the file manually if desired:

∙tar xzf hp_rgs_4_audiosupport.tar.gz

As the user root, change directory into the one created by the command above. It will contain important files such as:

∙README.txt - basic instructions and file manifest

∙rgs_audio_support - shell installation script for ALSA/JACK libraries

∙alsa-*.tar.bz2- recent validated tar archives from the ALSA project

(provided only for open source requirements and legacy installations) - http://alsa-project.org

∙jack-*.tar.gz- recent validated tar archives from the JACK-Audio- Connection-Kit project - http://jackit.sourceforge.net

∙libsndfile-*.tar.gz- recent validated tar archives from the libsndfile project (JACK dependency) - http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile

The sample installation script, rgs_audio_support, offers three installation scenarios:

1.install - This command unpacks all tar archives into a local build directory in the current directory [ ./localroot ], configures, builds, and installs the required ALSA/JACK libraries appropriate for the host system and active kernel. It is a good choice for local installations or system development. A system reboot is recommended for best results.

2.remove - This command removes and un-configures an installation provided by the above install command.

3.build_rpms - This command runs an install command first and then attempts to create a compatible set of binary RPMs for installation on matched system configurations. This will greatly reduce the work of enterprise administrators duplicating this install process across multiple nodes. After a successful build, the following files are created:

∙./RPMS/*.rpms - binary RPMs copied from /usr/src/redhat/RPMS

∙./RPMS/RGS_audio_install.sh - customized install and configuration script to associate with RPMs

Note: The build log created by this script is located in /var/log/hpaudio.log

Note: The install command does not yield results visible by the RPM package manager, rpm. The rpm database is not updated nor will inquiries with rpm -q report the installation. Only installations performed with the results of build_rpms are manageable by the rpm command.
