Do you have a Pico Systems Universal Stepper Controller board connected to the parallel port? The univstep config is intended to work with that hardware, and if the board isn't there it won't load. I admit that the error messages are obscure. It's not easy to get messages from kernel space (where the driver is attempting to load and checking for compatible hardware) and user space (where it would be printed on the screen). You can check the kernel log to see the real error message - type "dmesg" at the command line. The result will be a long list of kernel messages, the ones you are looking for are probably in the last 20-30 lines. In fact, you might want to use "dmesg | tail -n 30" to trim most of the log.
