Hi Elle, Not a GIMP dev, so just some general advice here. It looks like the problem is from compiling gimphistogram.c. Scroll back through the history to find the 'gcc' line where this is compiled and look at the full arguments. Make sure that there's a "-L/home/elle/..." argument that appears before any other "-L/usr/lib" type arguments. Then, I'd look at the Makefile to see if it makes sense. Where are the -L arguments coming from? Are you running some pkgconfig command from /usr/bin instead of your custom path? Etc.
