HPLIP 2.7.7: Automatic Installer / Problems with spaces in path

[Gordian]

Hello,

/bin/sed: can't read Treiber/HPLIP/libhpip.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `Treiber/HPLIP/libhpip.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make: *** [libsane-hpaio.la] Fehler 1

The right directory is /mnt/raid/.../Modules und Treiber/HPLIP/

So it seems that spaces are not allowed in this installer.

The installer don't tell me. As I do "make" manually, I found out.

Well, I can rename this directory, but it would be nice, if the
installer do not have to run in trouble in this kind of situation.

By the way: Thanks for such an easy way for this great tool.

Gordian-

We looked into this, and it appears to be a limitation in automake or
libtool. Please copy the HPLIP tarball onto a path without spaces and try
again. In general, it is not optimal to have spaces in path names on Linux.
