DDK fails to compile on debian Sarge (now stable)

[peer at baden-online.de]

Unfortunately, the CUPS-DDK seems not to be included in the debian package system, so I downloaded it to compile and use it.


But so far, the ./configure fails with:

checking for random... yes
checking for mrand48... yes
checking for lrand48... yes
checking for library containing pow... -lm
checking for cups-config... no
configure: error: CUPS 1.1.19 or higher is required for the CUPS DDK!


I do not really know how to check for the cups version. However, the following suggests that it's a higher version than needed, e.g. 1.1.23:


> apt-cache show cupsys
Package: cupsys
Priority: optional
Section: net
Installed-Size: 15928
Maintainer: Kenshi Muto <kmuto at debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Version: 1.1.23-10


What now?
