Installing a gutenprint patch??

[William Case]

Hi;

I have been having problems printing with The Gimp.  The sourceforge.net
gimp-print mailing list advised that I download the
gutenprint20060505.tar.bz2 patch. (Called Gutenprint 5.0 pre-release
snapshot).  I have download it.  

Now, where do I install it to work with FC5 and The Gimp?
Should I install it?  Is this good advice or will I get into conflicts
with existing FC5 gimp-print?  Do I replace /usr/share/gimp-print or do
I just add a new gutenprint folder in /usr/share/gutenprint?  It is not
an rpm, so, do I go ahead and config install, make, install?  I have
only installed with 'make' a few times and that was a couple of years
ago.  Should I wait for a Fedora rpm.  I am not afraid of trying to
install a *.tar.bz2, if I can get some advice.
