Now, as the root user: make install && mkdir -vp /etc/libpaper.d && cat > /usr/bin/run-parts << "EOF" #!/bin/sh # run-parts: Runs all the scripts found in a directory. # from Slackware, by Patrick J.

No other BLFS package installs this, so we create it here. Create /etc/papersize to set the default system paper size. Issue the following command as the root user to set this to 'A4' (libpaper prefers the lowercase form). You may wish to use a different size, such as letter. cat > /etc/papersize << "EOF" a4 EOF Installed Programs Installed Library Installed Directories paperconf, paperconfig, run-parts libpaper.so /etc/libpaper.d Short Descriptions paperconf print paper configuration information. paperconf paperconfig configure the system default paper size. paperconfig run-parts run all the scripts found in a directory. run-parts libpaper.so contains functions for interrogating the paper library. libpaper.so
