heya, i know this is kind of a pedantic bitch, but i run into it every time i install a new system w/red hat and then install gimp from source. after building and installing a new gtk, unless you specify usr/lib as your install path, you will have to add /usr/local/bin to /etc/ld.so.config and run ldconfig or configure will fail. i've done it half dozen or more times, and it still give me pause - and i remember what a PITA it was before i figured out what was going on. will someone add possibly a check or some extra text to that end in ./configure, so that the people upgrading to 2.0 on existing RH systems won't be so in the dark? thanks, -- Blue Lang Unix Systems Admin QSP, Inc., 3200 Atlantic Ave, Ste 100, Raleigh, NC, 27604 Home: 919 835 1540 Work: 919 875 6994 Fax: 919 872 4015
