Hi,
Thanks to all who replied my message!
I borrow the strerror/strerr code from the nice Geoff Kuenning's
article:
http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/interfaces.html
Then, basically I did what Villy described, and put the routines
available in a library in /usr/local/lib. Now I have all this wonderful
LPRng package running smootly in my server!
Cheers.
Arthur
