It does? <rant> Last time I checked this stuff, their install script was completly broken and directly installed stuff into /sw, and /usr (!) despite all... that's why I didn't update the package yet, I didn't want to fix it (BTW, all this is because they horribly misuse autoconf, I don't understand why - they break it by using it wrongly, and in fact make thing more complicated for themselves, i.e. I don't even see anything they gain... <sigh>) </rant> > >It compiles without problems, but it installs some stuff into >/System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices to get started at bootup. >In a definitive Fink package, this would probably have to be replaced by >something based on daemonic.
