So, this is your first use of AVRdude, your Parallel Port Interface 
and the AVR target board. You have not used any of these successfully 
before. Any one of the three could be giving you trouble.

Things *should* work right first time and often do. But, when they 
don't, it is often necessary to narrow down the source of the problem 
by trying each piece in a known-good environment. Do you have access 
to any other programming tools or another target system? Can you 
borrow anything?

Have you read the available documentation for AVRdude?
