  • libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0)
  • libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1)
  • libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1.3)

To install the InfoPrint Manager: Linux Clients:

  1. Log into the Linux system as root.
  2. If you are installing from the RICOH InfoPrint Manager: Common Clients DVD-ROM, LCD4-5642:
    1. Insert the DVD-ROM into the drive.
    2. Mount the file system by typing:
      mount /dev/cdrom /media/<mount_point>
    3. Type:
      cd /media/<mount_point>/linux
    4. Install the Linux Command Line Client package.

      Type:

      rpm -i ipr-cmd-4.13.m-n.x86_64.rpm

      where m and n represent the service update level.
    5. If you are upgrading the InfoPrint Manager: Linux Command Line Client from a previous version, you need to type:
      rpm -U ipr-cmd-4.13.m-n.x86_64.rpm
      where m and n represent the service update level.
      Important: After the upgrade is complete, you must log off and then log in again.
    6. Unmount the media/<mount_point> file system.
    7. Remove the DVD-ROM.
  3. If you are installing from the Web:
    1. Download the Linux Command Line Client package.
    2. Install the Linux Command Line Client package.

      Type:

      rpm -i ipr-cmd-4.13.m-n.x86_64.rpm

      where m and n represent the service update level.
  4. These environment variables must be set for the InfoPrint Manager: Linux Command Line Client to work. The install process puts two shell configuration files (ipr-cmd.csh and ipr-cmd.sh) in the /etc/profile.d directory to set them. Edit these files and provide values for:
    PDHOST
    The name of the host where the InfoPrint Manager server is located.
    PD_SOCKET
    The TCP/IP socket number of the port for the InfoPrint Manager server. The default socket is 6874. Use 6874 unless your system has been specifically set up differently or you have more than one InfoPrint Manager server running on the host.
    PDPRINTER (optional)
    The default logical destination in the InfoPrint Manager server that you want to use. The commands use this value if you do not specify a logical destination on the command line.
    Note: Users can override these settings with their own settings.
  5. Test the system:
    1. Log off and log back on to pickup the changes.
    2. Issue one of the commands, followed by the -h flag to display the syntax of that command and verify the installation.

      For example:

      pdls -h
