[FWTools] openev failure

[Yasha Karant]

Your suggestion worked fine.  I just installed the same tar.gz to my 
office workstation (same Centos as my laptop), ran install.sh as root,
issued your command from a terminal application under Xwindows, 
everything worked.  I disposed a copy to my printer, worked fine.
Note that the printer interface is not CUPS, but rather a fork/exec of a 
lpr command -- thus I would manually have to modify the lpr command
in the openev print dialog box to use other than the default printer 
(e.g., a networked color laser printer, my desktop unit being a 
monochrome laser printer).

A question:

the standard eog, etc., linux utilities view/print the major of imaging 
formats, but not yet JPEG2000.  Are there other such formats that 
FWTools handle
that are not handled by the "standard" utilities?

Thanks,
