Hi, If you are compiling a development series, it makes very little sense to build an old one, unless you're testing a performance regression or something like that (if you are, then great!). But if you aren't, then you should consider building the later version. Not only is it more likely to be usable for day-to-day work, it is also the only version of the devel series for which bugs are considered (by which I mean, if you have a bug you are likely to be asked to check that it's also present in the latest version). In any case, all of the dependencies are detailed in the INSTALL file that came with your distribution. In brief, for 1.3.17, you will need a working installation of gtk+ (with development headers installed), including the freetype2 back-end to pango (for the text tool, you will need pangoft2, and fontconfig). In addition, you will need development headers for png, tiff and jpeg libraries, and if you don't want to install gimp-print, you need to say so explicitly by compiling with --disable-print. Everything you need to get gtk+ going, if it isn't already (which it is if you're on RedHat 9) is available at ftp.gnome.org and freedesktop.org. That said, all that you probably need to do is install the -devel packages for the already-present gtk+ packages. Oh - also, note that 1.3.9 might not work with gtk+ 2.2 - back then we were still building against 2.0. Good luck!
