[avrdude-dev] /dev/parport0 not recognized

[tacorner]

I am running avrdude on Slackware 9.1 Linux with kernel 2.6.6.  I get the
following response:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
inx# avrdude -p m8 -c dt006
avrdude: can't open device "/dev/parport0": No such device or address
avrdude: failed to open parallel port "/dev/parport0"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am running as root and have no trouble programming an ATMega8 with
ponyprog2000 for linux.  I get the same response with version 4.3.0 and the
current cvs.

Trying /dev/lp0 yields the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
inx# avrdude -P /dev/lp0 -p m8 -c dt006
avrdude: can't claim device "/dev/lp0": Invalid argument
----------------------------------------------------------------------
