Hi again,

Quick update:

Configure now *seems* to work (as root) but 'make' and 'make install' 
both fall over, using my normal login, with permissions errors as below:

[julian@xxxxxxx cups-1.1.22]$ make
chmod: changing permissions of `cups-config': Operation not permitted
make: *** [all] Error 1
[julian@xxxxxxx cups-1.1.22]$ make install
/usr/bin/install: cannot change permissions of `/usr/include/cups': 
Operation not permitted
make[1]: *** [installhdrs] Error 1
make: *** [installhdrs] Error 1
[julian@xxxxxxx cups-1.1.22]$

If I try 'make' and 'make install' as root I get the errors I sent in 
the first email.

Kind regards,

Julian
