But why did I have to install sendmail to be able to compile gimp? I mean sendmail is a security issue, and I don't even have a modem on my computer (so for me sendmail is not a security issue, but for many peopl it should be). Couldn't there be a flag like --disable-sendmail ? Is sendmail really needed for gimp, or is it only during development stage and will dissapear when 1.4 is out? <troll>Why not postfix or qmail instead?</troll> Also, there was no test for the presence of lcms headers (little colour management system) in the configure step, while it happened to be needed during make (for the mng plugin I think). Apart from that, I'll report the bugs I have found in the bugzilla as soon as I have some time (they are just cosmetic / interface consistency bugs). Regards, Olivier Ripoll.
