It is weird that it is asking for your password...
If you hand me a copy the code I'll give it a shot. and I'll write you a
cookbook to build it (a shell script) if I get it to compile.
By the meantime, try:
(at the top directory of the code)
./configure && make && echo GOOD
If you see 'GOOD', then as root:
make install && echo DONE
It is a pretty dangerous proposition though...

I purchased a Dell 8700, wiped the drive and installed CentOS 6.4 on it.
I have a Canon MP 4900 printer that I committed to hook up to the new
computer.
The 32 bit drivers do not work on the new 63 bit system.
I found a copy of the Canon source code on a Canon web site in Thailand,
of all places.
I would like to compile this into a driver so that I can use the printer.
The source code is divided into several folders with scripts in each of
them to do the work.
When I run make as a user it asks for my password and runs in the first
directory. In the second it aborts saying it can't find a Makefile.
$ make
for dir in libs cngpij pstocanonij backend backendnet cngpijmon/cnijnpr;
do (cd $dir; make $target)|| exit 1; done
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/Gogo/Documents/GloriaComputerDocs_etc/mp490CentOS/src/cnijfilter-so
urce-3.20-1/libs'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/Gogo/Documents/GloriaComputerDocs_etc/mp490CentOS/src/cnijfilter-so
urce-3.20-1/libs'
make: *** [all] Error 1
$
There is a file called Makefile.am in that folder, but that does not seem
to be enough.
I feel like I am a bit over my head and would appreciate some advice on
how to proceed.
