can't even do first step configure

[Anonymous]

I can't even get off the starting line:

Trying to compile for HPUX 11.23 itanium, cups 1.1.23, no gcc compiler
Can't even get going on the configure.

Could someone give me a push please.

Thanks,
Rick

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.
