Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com Hi, Typically, I run autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/people/garry/WorkSpace/dist \ --with-gtk-prefix=/usr/people/garry/WorkSpace/dist \ --enable-ansi \ --enable-debug \ --disable-static \ --disable-perl autogen.sh is designed to run autoconf, automake, libtool, gettext. then kick off configure, passing the parameter list to that script, as noted by Marc and described in gimp/HACKING (was that available to you to read?). None of the options I use above is mandatory; the first two assist me in keeping a development gimp environment that is distinct from a production gimp, the next three assist in debugging, the last concerning a regrettable difficulty specific to SGI/Irix (See bug report: http://bugs.gnome.org/db/193/19335), and which is approaching resolution. I suggest you experiment with autogen.sh, as described in gimp/HACKING. If you care to, send me the output by private e-mail if you do not have any success. Be good, be well Garry Osgood

CVS gimp does not have "configure" in the CVS repository because it is generated from "configure.in" More generally, to work with CVS Gimp, you may need additional "maintainer" tools (check, though, because you may already have them) GNU autoconf, GNU automake GNU libtool, GNU gettext. Read gimp/HACKING in your CVS working directory on how to use these tools to generate your local configure script. To learn more about using CVS, I'd suggest "Open Source Development with CVS" by Karl Fogel (1999 Coriolis Open Press). Significant parts of this book is available online at http://cvsbook.redbean.com. Be good, be well Garry Osgood
