Anyone who says that all you have to do to install a program in Linux is "./configure && make && make install" is EVIL!

I am working on building CUPS. I finally got most of it to build then built a deb and installed it. Sadly, it segfaults on use. I believe that the default Makefile in CUPS uses a compiler flag that doesn't work on the N900 so I am experimenting with different compiler flags.

EDIT: Now it installs and does not segfault, but I cannot start the scheduler daemon. For example:
Code:
>sudo /etc/init.d/cups start
cupsd: Child exited with status 1!
cups: unable to start scheduler.
There is no log that I can find so I have no idea what is going wrong. I'll sleep on it.
