In kdelibs/kdeprint/cups/cupsdconf2/Makefile.am, $(LIB_CUPS) is
part of the additional libraries needed to compile cupsdconf.la
(using the cupsdconf_la_LIBADD variable). But from what I could
see in the original mail, CUPS was not part of the link command.

1) if CUPS detection failed at configuration time, the whole
kdelibs/kdeprint/cups/ wouldn't have been compiled (if everything
went OK)
2) if CUPS detection went OK, LIB_CUPS should be defined correctly.

So there's clearly something wrong, but it's difficult to say what
without seeing configuration/compilation files.

Michael.
