Hi North,

It sounds like you've got two issues.  

The first is missing cups-config.   This is a shell script that just echos
the directories of where to find various cups pieces.  As you mentioned
maybe you have a stripped down cups version.  Possibly redhat.com
has downloads that would have this.   The script is very simple and if
you can't get a redhat version I can help make a new one.

The second is missing libcups.a.  As you probably know this is a library for
some of the cups routines.  Dynamic libraries vary system to system
so I don't know why the shared version isn't being used.
