Then we purchased a new MAC Mini for our group, and this one comes with OS 10.4.5. I downloaded the latest CUPS code version, namely cups-1.2rcl. Unfortunately, I'm running again into a compilation error after the "make" command, and it's got to do with the same missing file of the first time. Here's the complete text describing the error:

I've seen this occasionally, but another "make" right after this
error seems to cure things (some sort of sporatic error due to the
universal binary compile process I think...)
