HPLIP Update - ABS error

Since the official arch hplip package seems kind of broken right now (also flagged out of date / http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/hplip/ ), I'm asking for a little help to build HPLIP myself via ABS. I got the PKGBUILD, no problem and ./configure runs fine, but I get an error:

prnt/cupsext/cupsext.c:76:20: schwerwiegender Fehler: Python.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Kompilierung beendet.

So, it doesn't find Python.h - directory or file. How can I solve that, if possible? Pretty please?
Since the Python2 / Python3 Update, there are some (minor) glitches - I think, that one is another one. Maybe. There's also this line in the PKGBUILD, that should fix this bug - but it doesn't.

find . -type f -exec sed -i 's~^#.*env python~#!/usr/bin/env python2~' {} +

The problem is, that on my Arch Linux Install, my printer (HP Officejet Pro 8500 A) doesn't print the colors right and it uses the hpcups driver version 3.10.9 (hp-officejet_pro_8500_a910.ppd). On another Linux Distribution, the hpcups driver for the printer is listed as 3.10.9.11 - so it seems, there might have bin a minor update, which I wanted to try, to get my printer working the right way. I also tried to move the working PPD-File on my Arch Machine - but the problem remains. So, I'm running out of options and could use a little help here.

Thanks in advance,

Ronnie

Builds here. I modified the PKGBUILD, in order to get rid of some makedeps:

You can check whether my changes work for you, but I expect otherwise.

Re: HPLIP Update - ABS error

Hi Leonid.l,

you're right - it doesn't work. The same error still occurs while compiling, even though ./configure runs without any problems. But thanks for the try!

Re: HPLIP Update - ABS error

While roaming around in the forums, I got the idea, that I could change the /usr/bin/python-link. Why didn't I think of that before? And indeed - recompiling hplip worked without any glitch. But unfortunatly - it doesn't solve my problem with my printer.

Edit:

After recompiling, I changed the Sym-Link back of course.
