None of the options I use above is mandatory; the first two assist me in keeping a development gimp environment that is distinct from a production gimp, the next three assist in debugging, the last concerning a regrettable difficulty specific to SGI/Irix (See bug report: http://bugs.gnome.org/db/193/19335), and which is approaching resolution. I suggest you experiment with autogen.sh, as described in gimp/HACKING. If you care to, send me the output by private e-mail if you do not have any success. Be good, be well Garry Osgood
