I don't think it has to do with your RPM. The checks for GIMP that the source makes assume certain conditions which usually are created when gimp is built from source. I'm conserned about this line: *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log What compiler are you using? Do you have the development headers for the libraries used to make gimp? (Installing gimp-devel should have brought them in, but...) > for the > Or what about rpm --updatedb? Naw, I don't think the source would check your package manager if GIMP was installed. Hum... what if you look for a package called "gimpperl" in YaST? If it's not there, maybe google for a SuSe RPM for "gimp-perl" (make sure it matches your OS exactly, since IIRC RPMs can be lethal if they don't match your distro name and version perfectly). IIRC, In Ubuntu and Linux, there is a concept of multiple repositries (e.g. multiple software CDs and/or multiple repositries on the internet) - maybe YaST needs a similar thing added if gimp-perl is not already in your OS? The only problem is, all references to gimp-perl for SuSE 9.2 that I can find refer to gimp-perl 1.2; Ubuntu is providing something that looks like a gimp-perl 2.0 so i'm naturally puzzled... *sigh* -- ~Mike - Just the crazy copy cat.
