It's definitely a symbolic link, and I'm using a fresh system installed from the '2015.01.01' ISO. Not sure why pacman complained.

Hmmm... I haven't seen this. Are you sure that your '/usr/sbin' really is a link to '/usr/bin' at this point? If there is stuff in /usr/sbin when the filesystem upgrade is done, this upgrade might fail. If that is true, then you can just move stuff in sbin to bin and manually make /usr/sbin a symbolic link.

Compiled great, but Pacman install failed first time with message 'lprng: /usr/sbin exists in filesystem'. It installed okay by using the '--force' option. I guess this is because the filesystem package provides a symlink '/usr/sbin -> /usr/bin' ('/usr/sbin' now being deprecated).

Tnanks: this now compiles without problems.

Corrected a problem with gsfilter in version 5.

I just uploaded a much cleaner version of the lprng package (-3), including a link to the reference manual on my website, as the original documentation website has just disappeared.

I just uploaded a new version of lprng which is based on code at sourceforge. It works for me on an up to date Arch system.

I'm new to Arch and this is my first attempt at compiling on AUR. I've been using lprng for years on Debian and was keen to have it in Arch. Unfortunately I didn't succeed. I made the changes mentioned below by jevv but although the numerous errors went away during the compile the eventual message was "failed to build". I really don't like CUPS but it looks as if there isn't any alternative.

Wow, now lprng build is missing flags (though not sure which). To make the thing compile I had to edit makepkg.conf, and add in the 3 compilation flags (CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS) the following: -Wno-error=unused-result With this the errors due to warnings indicating result values are unused, get ignored, and thus, the error is prevented. Finally lprng compiles...
