I found a very good howto at http://lppcfom.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/49.html. I found the
latest RPMS for the lpstyl from the web. These were lpstyl-0.9.9-1.src.rpm, lpstyl-0.9.9-1.ppc.rpm

These were not anywhere in the YDL 2.0 source or even Tasty Morsels CD. Kind of dissappointing.
Concerned about binary compatibility, I opted to rebuild the objects from source. I used both
--rebuild and --recompile (same results). I'm very new at this...
    rpm --rebuild lpstyl-0.9.9-1.src.rpm

This seemed to successfully unzip, untar and build the objects and binaries. It returned errors
with
Finding Requires: (using /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires)...
objdump: /var/tmp/lpstyl-0.9.9/usr/sbin/direct_stylpbm: File format not recognized
....
objdump: /var/tmp/lpstyl-0.9.9/usr/sbin/stylps.a4: File format not recognized
PreReq: rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
Requires: ld.so.1 libc.so.6 /bin/sh libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
Wrote: /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/lpstyl-0.9.9-1.ppc.rpm

Then it initiated a cleaning sequence. Looks like it didn't build with the latest YDL 2.0. Any
takers out there? I'd really appreciate any words of wisdom. I'm hoping to build lpstyl and get
it to work with printtool.
