Thanks but forget it, it didn't fix it. I was mistaken. I have modified the .deb \
package build so foomatic and ijs portions don't build and I have gotten it built.
I still want to make check before I push. I also will have to update since I am \
still running off the cvs source. Steve Letter

Do you want to push it with your change or do you want me to push it first?
