If it is missing, the help browser plug-in will be build. Then, gtkhtml2 doesn't depend on gnome-vfs, it only uses it for a small example/test application. The gtkhtml2 library itself doesn't use it at all. configure (of gtkhtml2) should detect the absence of gnome-vfs and skip the build of the test application. You can even build gtkhtml2 without gail if you pass --disable-accessibility to configure. > Also, python-dev had to be installed, and of course libmng-devl, > lib-aa-devel, although these two ones where not mandatory.

AFAIK, you can not install libmng without lcms. If your distribution managed to do so, something is most probably screwed up somewhere. > > You don't have to install sendmail to compile GIMP.

The sendmail binary has traditionally be part of every UNIX installation. This is totally unrelated to the fact if a mail server is running or not. Salut, Sven
