(I'm open to other distro options!) I tried to compile GIMP 2.3.6 on FC4 the other day. That didn't work: I needed the 2.8 GLIB stuff. I downloaded the source code, etc., for it and compiled GLIB. That worked, but it installed it into usr/local and the GIMP compile still fails. How do I make the GIMP compile read the libraries from the correct location? And I'm not real sure the GLIB compile used the right libraries. Any good references on the matter would be appreciated. You would have needed the latest glib,atk,pango and gtk They should have been available from Red Hat? If they weren't you should have built them like ./configure --prefix-/usr If you read ./configure --help you will see that unless you do this, it will be built in /usr/local Now that it is in /usr/local you need to set enviroment variables so that it picks up that library Try (presume Fedora is sort of standard linux) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ That way it will look at /usr/local before /usr owen _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
