Debian (normal repositry, stable, testing, unstable) and Ubuntu (universe repositry which must be uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list, warty, hoary, breezy, dapper) both have such packages, called "libgimp-perl". Check if there is a similarly named package for your distro. If not... well, *shrugs*. Mind, if it's this much trouble, it may be more convienent to switch to a distribution that has GIMP-Perl packages readily available, or "borrow" their packaging system*. Basically, the idea is that binary gimp packages (it's useful it you're trying to save space - IIRC there seems to have been a recent movement to split packages into as many depending-on-each-other subpackages as possible) are trimmed to avoid headers - those are sepearate. As for compiling modules and the like, the package (in both those distros) is called "libgimp2.0-dev". I imagine you have a should similiar package, with either that name or "libgimp2.0-devel", I suppose. (Haven't checked.) If not, you can also get all the development packages for all the libraries and build gimp itself from source. If you have a nice package management system in your distro, you might be able to search through the list of packages as such and install them. Try terms like "gimp-perl" or even just "gimp" (you may need to repeat the search multiple times. * This has many implications, and I haven't tried it myself. Apparently it's been known that this "solution" can have dependency issues because packages are spread over multiple packaging systems. My apologies if my comments are unhelpful. Hopefully you will resolve your problem quickly. -- ~Mike - Just the crazy copy cat.
