and on my AMD system I find a comment in /usr/include/sys/io.h that
calls in this file are not supported on all arcitectures. I guess this
would make sense because most Macs don't have parallel ports. In fact most
Macs that are even worth running Linux on don't have serial ports either,
only USB and Firewire.

I don't know how to edit makefiles. Would it be possible to check for the
existance of PPC Linux and not compile z_lp ?
