During the make process on my Mandrake Linux 7.0 machine of Gimp 1.1.17 I received the following error. Running Mkbootstrap for Gimp::Lib () chmod 644 Lib.bs LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/lib" cc -o ../blib/arch/auto/Gimp/Lib/Lib.so -shared -L/usr/local/lib -l./../../../libgimp.libs -Lirprefix/../../libgimp -lgimp-L/usr/lib -lglib /intl/libintl.a Lib.o cc: /intl/libintl.a: No such file or directory I noticed this says /intl/libintl.a but no /intl directory exists on my machine and nor should it. So to test my theory I created the /intl directory and place libintl.a in /intl and ran make again. This time make continued on fine. I thought this might be a bug. With my little bit of programming skills, I would have now idea where to begin fixing this. Tony Webster twebster@xxxxxxxx
