I've just compiled and installed gimp 1.1.22 under Irix, but have done so in a non-standard (ie. not /usr/local) location so as not to interfere with other users on the network. My problem is that the executable seems to expect user_install to be in /usr/local. I get this message when it starts trying to create my personal directories /usr/local/share/gimp/1.1/user_install does not exist. ... My configure line set the prefix like this: ./configure --enable-perl=/product/perl/bin/perl --disable-nls --prefix=/product/gimp I've tried setting the GIMP_HOME environment variable to /product/gimp, and added /product/gimp/lib to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Any ideas? Any help appreciated. -- Also, configure ignores the perl executable argument specified in the --enable-perl option (see configure line above, for example), and always looks for "perl5" in the default path. I don't know if this is Irix-specific behaviour, but even if it were, it would be strange because Irix has had a "perl" as well as a "perl5" for some time now. I think the preferred behaviour would be to accept the argument received, if any, and then look for "perl". -- Warren Hedley Department of Engineering Science Auckland University New Zealand
