Lexmark Printer installation failed - libslang.so.1 is needed

[ss_fedora]

Friends, I got this error while installing my Lexmark z13 printer on fedora.
Used to work fine on my Redhat 9.0

What is missing in fedora ? :confused:


libslang.so.1 is needed by lexmarkz13-1.0-4.i386
while executing
"exec rpm -i --test $rpmfilename"

Your need install slang-devel package.

I checked , slang-devel-1.4.9-13 is already installed.

I do not know if this will help or not, but it is what I found when I searched for the name of the lib file that you were missing.

Here is the info:
compat-slang-1.4.5-8.i386.html The shared library for the S-Lang extension language. Fedora Core 3 for i386 compat-slang-1.4.5-8.i386.rpm

The info comes from www.rpmfind.net

I would be tempted to

ln -s /usr/lib/libslang.so /usr/lib/libslang.so.1

and then hide behind a desk while sending someone dispensible to do your RPM command again.

I tried
ln -s /usr/lib/libslang.so /usr/lib/libslang.so.1
Thi won't work
