That's good, it means ppdev loaded successfully and /dev/parport0 got
created, and avrdude picked it up.
Now you just need to make yourself part of the 'lp' group, so that you
don't need to be root to use avrdude.

I don't know the command line for it. But if you are using Gnome, there
is a simple GUI to do it (Desktop->Administration->Users and Groups).

That's normal, you made a typo: "dev/parport0" instead of
"/dev/parport0".
But again, you don't need to specify it on the command line, avrdude use
it by default.
