CentOS - Sep 2007 - Problems building LPRng src RPM

Hi All

I know this is not a LPRng list but I'm trying to build the latest SRPM from

http://lprng.sourceforge.net/DISTRIB/LPRng/LPRng-3.8.27-1.src.rpm

so that I may use it on my CentOS 5 box, but it fails with the following 
errors

if [ "UTILS" = po ] ; then \
            for i in po/Makefile* ; do \
                if [ -f "$i" ] ; then \
                    if grep '^mkinstalldirs.*=.*case' $i ; then \
                        echo "fixing broken $i which causes wrong path 
to mkinstalldirs to be used"; \

It looked like it went through the ./configure portion OK. Any ideas?  
Has someone else gotta LPRng to work on CentOS 5?

Yes. With difficulty. :-)

This problem is fixed by:

1. installing the LPRng src rpm
2. cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3. mkdir unpack
4. cd unpack
5. tar zxf ../LPRng-3.8.27.tgz
6. vi LPRng-3.8.27/Makefile.in
7. Change line 45 from:

SHELL="@SHELL@"

to:

SHELL=@SHELL@

8. tar zcf ../LPRng-3.8.27.tgz LPRng-3.8.27
9. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
10.rpmbuild -bb LPRng.spec

There are other errors later on; I can't recall how I fixed this,
maybe disabling kerberos support?

Sorry, I wasn't subscribed to the list when this message was posted, so my
reply won't be threaded properly...

Anyways, we build LPRng rpms for SME Server, which is based on CentOS. (7.x =
EL4 and 8.x = EL5)   The current EL5 version is here:
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/testing/8/smeos/i386/SME/LPRng-3.8.29-3.el5.sme.i386.rpm
