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.
