No binary is produced if it cannot be produced. Maybe libtiff-dev is not
installed?
Can you please send the output of ./configure

Fine :-).

Hmm - sounds absolutely correct.

This should not happen! There mus be a programm running during boot, that
uses the driver and turns the light on. There should be no such program. Can
you find the guilty bastard - maybe fuser helps.

/dev/lp is not used, but /dev/parport0. This is only a dummy string.

Seems the guilty bastard is still running and locks the parport?!
This seems to have something todo with your startup process. I cannot
reproduce it - sorry. Please make further investigations.
