qtcups-1.2

[john gennard <joney@clara.co.uk>]

I'm having trouble installing the above from source.
( Potato 2.2 r3 with 2.2.18 kernel - on a PC ).
#./configure works ( after I sorted out some dependencies),
but #make fails giving the following error message:-

This is all way above me. Can anyone suggest how I can get over the 
problem, please. ( There are .debs available, but they are compiled 
against libc6 (>=2.2.1-2) and I haven't yet upgraded to that, so I 
also tried to use 'apt-get source -b' for qtcups-2.0 but this failed 
to create my own .deb and I've posted separately about that).

I only want to see if I like the program, so any version will do !! 
Keep 'painting myself into a corner'.

Grateful for any help.

John.
