OK, we require > pango-1.2 now but you should be using that with gtk+-2.2 anyway. I think I already had pango. From memory, I had to install gtkhtml-devel, who in turn asked for gnome-vfs, and other gnome libbs (devel packages, of course) one having a name like "liboad" (my memory is not very good). Also, python-dev had to be installed, and of course libmng-devl, lib-aa-devel, although these two ones where not mandatory. There were other libs, but haven't noted their names. > > Of course the new MNG plug-in introduces new dependencies but you > should be able to build without it. configure is supposed to skip the > build of the MNG plug-in if libmng is not available.

This was strange. I had compiled the mng plugin on the same computer before. I do not know what changed. > > Salut, Sven Thanks for the answer... Anyway, I'll test this version a little more and make a few bug reports when I have time. the new template thing is very nice. Also the new "brush selection widget" with list and icon view is pretty. I'm sure there are lots of new things to discover in this new gimp :) Best regards, Olivier.
