No, this works fine:

printui-2.2 >= 2.2.0... Package libgnomeprint-2.2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnomeprint-2.2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgnomeprint-2.2' found

...

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dom/src/gnome/librsvg/doc'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dom/src/gnome/librsvg'

i meant adding a --disable-gnome-print switch to the configure script to allow the user to explicitly disable the check for gnome print

If you have the libgnomeprint-devel package installed, why do you not want to build rsvg-view with printing support?

It's because some distro (like debian) make it depend on gnome-print; i think adding such switch could allow package maintainers to create not gnome-print dependent packages easier.

But i guess you'll say it's distro specific; anyway just my 0.02€
 

Fixed.
