[Samba] Setting up CUPS for Samba on 390

I've scoured the newsgroups and asked MANY people, does anyone out there 
have any ideas ?

I'm new to the CUPS arena and I'm trying to figure out what to do from 
the separate docs.  I'm using SLES7 (2.4.7 kernel).  The files I'm using 
are:

4368072 May 22 06:22 cups-1.1.19rc5-source.tar.gz
197341 May 22 06:22 cups-samba-1.1.19rc2.tar.gz
4961128 May 22 07:58 ghostscript-7.05.tar.gz
14520320 May 22 06:22 gimp-print-4.3.14.tar
610697 May 23 06:20 pkgconfig-0.15.0.tar.gz
5463358 May 22 06:24 samba-2.2.8a.tar.gz

So far I have compiled cups, ghostscript (with the cups patch), cups-
samba drivers, & samba with cups enabled.

I have setup my smb.conf file to use cups and I can see the printer I 
setup through Network Neigh.  I used the windows interface to install the 
printer driver and I can install the driver onto my client through the 
APW interface.  When I try to print I get "test page failed to print"  
I'm guessing it's because I don't have the gimp-print package installed 
yet, and that's where I'm stuck.

When I ran "./configure --with-cups --without-gimp --disable-gimp-test" 
for the gimp-print package I got errors about not finding glib-config and 
pkg-config.  I found the pkgconfig package at the url listed in the 
error.  I did the usual configure,make,make install, but then it gave 
errors about not finding .h files.  I went through one at a time moving 
them to the /usr/local/include directory because apparently the make 
install doesn't do that.  

Now I still get errors surrounding glib-config and pkg-config.

Am I going down the right path here ?  I've 

TIA

Josh
