Reading the discussions re: the help system has made me think I understand why compiling GIMP always broke at a point where it needed a GtkXmhtml header file. I use a RedHat system without Gnome installed and I'm beginning to understand that GtkXmhtml is a Gnome thing. I recently upgraded to the latest glib and gtk+ as I thought what I was missing was something that was added to a version of gtk+ more recent than I had. The name of GtkXmhtml now seems to be misleading as it appears not to be part of the base gtk+ libraries. I run the autoconf.sh without any parameters on the command line. I supposed I expected it would detect whether I had gnome on my machine or not. I simply used 'make -i' to get a successful compile of GIMP. I will add --without-gnome to the command line of the configure scripts from now on and see if that avoids it trying to build the help system. The idea of a help system as part of GIMP sounded interesting and I had hoped to try it out and comment on it but I now discover I won't be able to do so. Cheers! Kevin.
