You need to tell your linker where the gimp libraries are located. This involves setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or editing /etc/ld.so.conf. In order to understand how the linker works and where it is searching for libraries, it is best to read the ld(1) manpage. > Also, even though I have gtkhtml installed and working, it seems to > not be able to find my gimp-2.0 online help.

You need to install the GIMP help files available from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/help/ Sven _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
