But it's likely that they've switched to gutenprint (new name, same project), and although there's a libgutenprint-dev package (at least here in Ubuntu), GIMP's configure script is only set up to look for older gimp-print headers, not the newer gutenprint ones. My understanding is that the gutenprint gimp plug-in is now expected to come from gutenprint, rather than from gimp. (Maybe someone else can clarify that.) In any case, it does work to build gutenprint from source (http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/ ... and yes, the page still says Gimp-Print, but if you click on Download you'll find the gutenprint releases. It's all very confusing). Make sure that the gimp2 print plugin is enabled (I believe it is by default, at least if you have the gimp dev headers installed). Then the plugin will be built in the gutenprint source tree for use with your CVS gimp. The right thing to do here is to build the GIMP without print support, and then build Gutenprint from source, as Akkana suggests. Yes, we know that the web site names are confusing, but we don't have anyone to create a new web site (i. e. we need help :-) ). -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
