I am sorry if this is the wrong mailing list for compilation problems but I've already searched the archives and posted to comp.graphics.apps.gimp to no avail. The problem is that compilation of Gimp 1.1.18 dies on me at the 'make' stage (while compiling perl/Gimp/Lib.c) with the error pasted below. Machine is PC with Linux 2.0.36 (RedHat5.2), Perl 5.004_04, PDL 2.003, gtk-1.2 and Gtk-Perl-0.6123. If I configure with --disable-perl, gimp compiles all right. I would be grateful for any help. % make [...] /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404 -I/usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /usr/lib/perl5/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap /home/ftp/pub/linux/Apps/gimp/gimp-1.1.18/plug-ins/perl/typemap -typemap /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/PDL/Core/typemap.pdl Lib.xs >Lib.tc && mv Lib.tc Lib.c cc -c -I/home/ftp/pub/linux/Apps/gimp/gimp-1.1.18/plug-ins/perl -I../../.. -I/home/ftp/pub/linux/Apps/gimp/gimp-1.1.18/plug-ins/perl/../.. -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-parentheses -Wno-unused -Wno-uninitialized -I/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/PDL/Core -g -O2 -Dbool=char -DHAS_BOOL -I/usr/local/include -O2 -DVERSION=\"1.19\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.19\" -fpic -I/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404/CORE -Ddatadir="\"/usr/local/share\"" -DHAVE_PDL=1 Lib.c In file included from /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/PDL/Core/pdlcore.h:4, from Lib.xs:20: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/PDL/Core/ppport.h:42: warning: `/*' within comment In file included from /home/ftp/pub/linux/Apps/gimp/gimp-1.1.18/plug-ins/perl/gppport.h:149, from Lib.xs:34: /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404/CORE/patchlevel.h:40: redefinition of `local_patches' /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404/CORE/patchlevel.h:40: `local_patches' previously defined here make[4]: *** [Lib.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/ftp/pub/linux/Apps/gimp/gimp-1.1.18/plug-ins/perl/Gimp' [...] -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Kresimir Kumericki kkumer@xxxxxx http://www.phy.hr/~kkumer/ Theoretical Physics Department, University of Zagreb, Croatia -------------------------------------------------------------
