I think I put it in a comment in the xls, but I'm *surprised* yours uses webkit - mine opens aurora (i.e. firefox). Anyway, it tests for webkit-1.0.pc - in my experience that comes from old (<1.6) versions of webkit-gtk built with gtk+-2. But I think you told me 1.6 could be built with gtk+-2 so perhaps it installs a different version of hte pkgconfig file in that case ? My build of 1.6.1 with gtk+-3 installed webkit-3.0.pc. I build the gimp long before I touch the gnome applications, but even after webkit-gtk has been installed, the log from the gimp's configure shows - checking for X11/xpm.h... yes checking for WEBKIT... no checking for SVG... yes PS - since I'm talking about the gimp now - PyGTK appears to be broken, probably by glib-2.30. pygobject-2.28.6 crapped out with pygi-info.c: In function '_pygi_info_new': pygi-info.c:165:14: error: 'GI_INFO_TYPE_ERROR_DOMAIN' undeclared (first use in this function) pygobject-3.0.2 is fine, but it installs pygobject-3.0.pc - pygtk-2.24.0 is looking for pygobject-2.0.pc. 3.0.2 is in Wayne's gnome3 packages, I assume it gets used by something. At the time pygtk failed on me, I couldn't get to fedora gitweb to see what they do. I checked PLD, but they don't install pygtk (nor do they make check - there is much to be said for that attitude ;-). I've since proved that I don't need pygtk for what I do in gnumeric, so it doesn't bother me but I did get reminded by the (my?) explanation on the --disable-python switch. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
