As written the configure step of the install instructions look like:

<snippage> ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/enscript \

--localstatedir=/var --with-media=letter &&

<snippage>

The "--with-media=letter" phrase sets "DefaultMedia=letter" in /usr/local/etc/enscript.cfg.

Trouble is that a while later:

<more snippage> # Media definitions: # name width height llx lly urx ury Media: A3 842 1190 24 24 818 1166 Media: A4 595 842 24 24 571 818 Media: A5 420 595 24 24 396 571 Media: Legal 612 1008 24 24 588 984 Media: Letter 612 792 24 24 588 768 </more snippage>

So default media is specified as "letter" but no "letter" exists in the Media definitions and attempts to run enscript return a message saying cannot find that media or words to that effect.

The correct value is of course "Letter".

The fix is to change the install instructions to read

<snippage plus> ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/enscript \

--localstatedir=/var --with-media=Letter &&

</snippage plus>

No need to move Shadow's dynamic libraries to a more appropriate location with:

mv /usr/lib/lib{shadow,misc}.so.0* /lib

Because they are in /lib and not in /usr/lib

From MSB:

"I just wanted to take a look at LFS's instructions for creating btmp, wtmp and company. I searched fruitlessly for a while in different sections till it dawned on me that this could be part of Shadow's instructions. I don't think it's appropriate to keep this information there. These files are not Shadow specific. init and agetty and xterm and other programs write to these files, too.

"I think this information could be merged with "Creating the passwd and group files" to form a "Creating the passwd, group and log files" section, or more explicitly "Creating passwd, group, lastlog, utmp, btmp and wtmp"

"That makes the life easier for people who want to go back later to check which of these files need to be manually created and what permissions LFS recommends for them. They can just search the TOC for "utmp" etc.
