cups error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libcups.so.2: ELF file OS ABI inv

Hello fellas,

I have a 8.0-RELEASE (i386) with the following make.conf:
Code:
PERL_VERSION=5.8.9
WRKDIRPREFIX=/wrkdir
NO_BIND = YES
WITH_CUPS=YES
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=YES
WITHOUT_LPR=YES
and a custom kernel that has all the features of GENERIC + all required stuff for pf. Nothig special up to this point.

I needed to install cups on this particular machine because the network it resides on has several printers. There is 1 network printer which I added without any problems but I also need to add a Samsung CLP-310_Series USB printer.

I have:
Code:
cups-base-1.4.4
cups-client-1.4.4
cups-image-1.4.4
cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_6
gutenprint-cups-5.2.4_2
gutenprint-base-5.2.4_2
gutenprint-cups-5.2.4_2

and devfs.rules:
Code:
[system=10]
add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'usb/4.2.0' mode 0660 group cups                        [B][color="Red"]<- this was added because cups did not see/detect my usb printer[/color][/B]

and after a restart of devfs and cups, I was able to add the Samsung printer (ppd was on the CD). All fine and dandy up to this point but when I tried to print a test page I got:

/usr/lib/libcups.so.2 ->
Code:
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  297450 Aug 27 21:50 /usr/lib/libcups.so.2

and /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/rastertosamsungsplc
Code:
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  106656 Aug 28 11:43 /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/rastertosamsungsplc

"rastertosamsungsplc" did not exist and I copied it from the CD (maybe the file had problems ?)

So I have 2 problems.
1)/usr/lib/libcups.so.2
2)rastertosamsungsplc

As far as problem 2 goes, I am guessing the file has some problems (although it worked on a centos with the same printer - wtf ? )

For problem 1, I am left guessing. That file belongs to cups. If it were damaged in any way, I should see errors when I use the other printer too (maybe).


Any thoughts are welcomed.





LE:
Code:
# ldd /usr/lib/libcups.so.2
/usr/lib/libcups.so.2:
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x28300000)
        libcrypt.so.5 => /lib/libcrypt.so.5 (0x2831a000)
        libz.so.5 => /lib/libz.so.5 (0x281ee000)
        libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x28333000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x28091000)
I have the linux kernel module loaded and "linux_base-f10-10_2" installed
My guess is that cups needs a linux version of "libcups.so.2" and not a native BSD one. This would explain the fact that it cannot find the file in the first place.
I searched for "libcups.so.2" and the only place I could find it was in "/usr/lib" which means that this file is a BSD file.
I will try to find out where does cups look for "libcups.so.2".


LE2:
If I try to manually start "rastertosamsungsplc", I get
Code:
./rastertosamsungsplc: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libcups.so.2: ELF file OS ABI invalid
so it is clearly a problem with the lib. At this point I cannot even assume that "rastertosamsungsplc" is corrupted in any way. nice .....
 
EdGe ... I owe you 2 million beers lol.

Apparently, using the driver from foo2gpdl, makes cups work and all errors > /dev/null :D

Happy like a kid.

Thanks EdGe.


PS: The errors that cups showed me, pointed to a totally different direction. wtf is wrong with cups ?
