It looked like it went through the ./configure portion OK. Any ideas? Has someone else gotta LPRng to work on CentOS 5?

Yes. With difficulty. :-)

This problem is fixed by:

1. installing the LPRng src rpm
2. cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3. mkdir unpack
4. cd unpack
5. tar zxf ../LPRng-3.8.27.tgz
6. vi LPRng-3.8.27/Makefile.in
7. Change line 45 from:

SHELL="@SHELL@"

to:

SHELL=@SHELL@

8. tar zcf ../LPRng-3.8.27.tgz LPRng-3.8.27
9. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

10.rpmbuild -bb LPRng.spec

Preferred way to do this would be to create a patch to be applied in the spec file. The above should work as a quick-and-dirty fix, but hides the changes in the tarball without changing the version.
