Hi,
Thanks for your quick responses. I sent this to Raphael as well. Someone on gimp-user said he'd had similar problems on Unix 5.0a (??) and this problem also appears on the newsgroups archive available at the link below:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=gimp+headers+not+found&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rnum=1&ic=1&selm=MIqV6.77464%24qc.9684819%40news1.rdc1.va.home.com
or type "gimp headers not found" on groups.google.com and pick the first finding...
Here's the problem as I posted it to Raphael and to the newsgroups:
I am compiling v1.2.1 with the script at the bottom of this message. I am working in a Solaris 2.6 environment, with gcc 2.9.5, gtk 1.2.9, and glib 1.2.9. Despite having compiled and installed the graphics libraries shown in the script, and despite gimp's configure finding the graphics libraries, the configure script WILL NOT find the header files. I have done several things:
1) I have copied the header files to /usr/include, they're not found.
2) I have linked the header files from /usr/include, they're not found.
3) I have moved the header files into the lib directories where
gimp's configure DOES find the libraries, and the headers are still not found.
4) and this is interesting, I have EDITED the configure script, making
hard-path references to the graphics header files (e.g. /usr/slocal/tiff/include/tiffio.h)
for each of the libraries (lots of work). This FOOLS the configure script, it reports
that it finds the headers. However, when I run a gmake and gmake install, gimp
compiles, but without JPEG,TIFF,GIF,PNG,or XPM support! Ack! :)
So, I know gimp runs, but it won't for the life of me find the graphics header
files that it needs. Several points to desuade questions you might have:
1) gtk+ works with the test from the configure script
2) glib works (given the point above) with the test from the gtk+ configure.
3) zlib, png, jpeg, xpm, gif, tiff LIBRARIES are found and work.
I know these graphics libs work because I compiled WindowMaker against them.
3a) tiff 3.4
3b) libpng 1.0.5 and current zlib
3c) jpeg 6a
3d) libungif 4.1.0 (or is it 4.7?) don't have it in front of me, but it's current
3e) xpm current
4) GIMP WORKS but without the graphics support, it just uses XGF or whatever it's
default is called. :( It clearly finds all the standard header files, and reports finding them
in the configure output, i.e. the headers in /usr/include.
5) There is a separate gcc include directory which is /usr/slocal/......blabla/solaris-sparc-2.6/
include or something like that, which has different things, like stdarg.h for gcc, for example.
I did not include this in my path, and don't know how to pass these headers to the compiler.
(therein lies probably the crux of my problem, "I don't know how to pass headers to the configure script")
Script follows: ---------------------------------------------------(this line not in script) #!/bin/csh # # Installation script for gimp 1.2.1 on /usr/slocal/gimp-1.2.1 # GJB 06/08/01
setenv CC gcc
setenv PATH /usr/slocal/bin:$PATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/slocal/glib/lib:/usr/slocal/gtk+/lib:/usr/slocal/zlib/lib:/usr/slocal/lib:/usr/slocal/libungif/lib:/usr/slocal/libpng/lib:/usr/slocal/tiff/lib:/usr/slocal/xpm/lib:/usr/slocal/jpeg/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./configure --prefix="/usr/slocal/gimp-1.2.1" --disable-shared
# uncomment lines below when configure is happy... #gmake #gmake install ---------------------------------------(this line not in script)
Any help is much appreciated, thanks for reading this LONG email.
Thanks again, Gustaf Barkstrom

That's a gray line. I can tell you that we field a lot of such questions on this list. Whether this is the most "appropriate" list isn't for me to say. But if your problems with compiling aren't run-of-the-mill, this is the only place to ask. ;)
So what exactly are the problems that you are having? We try hard to make compilation as painless as possible.
