Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues.....
Jonathan, I have found the solution to the previous error. I had to install gtk+-devel v1.2.8, as well as gtk+. This has now enabled me to successfully complete ./configure. I am now having problems during the 'make' phase. (shesh.) 'Make' chugged away for a good 10-15 minutes and then decided to spit out the following error : /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/PDL/Core/pdlcore.h:4: ppport.h: No such file or directory make[4]: *** [Lib.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/mytemp/gimp-1.1.24/plug-ins/perl/Gimp make[4]: *** [subdirs] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/mytemp/gimp-1.1.24/plug-ins/perl make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/mytemp/gimp-1.1.24/plug-ins make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/mytemp/gimp-1.1.24' make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 2 Got any ideas about this ? perl is the reason why I am going through all of this heartache - so I can get to the perl plug-ins (esp. perlotine).

Re: Same problem as A.J. Fortune
Hi Simon, I have made a lot of progress in the last 24 hours. I found a solution to this problem, which allowed me to successfully complete ./configure. The solution was to uninstall the current version of gtk+-devel and install version 1.2.8 of gtk+-devel. You can download a copy of this by executing this command from your browser : http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/cgi-bin/search?form=lycosnet&query=gtk+-devel*1.2 .8*i386.r pm&doit=Go+Get+It%21&filetype=All+files In a nutshell you need the following for GIMP v1.1.24 : gtk+ v1.2.8 glib v1.2.8 gtk+-devel v1.2.8 perl >= v5.00503 I'm still not out of the woods though, as I am having problems during the 'make' phase --- this is the subject of a separate EMail. I am an inexperienced compiler as well, so don't lose heart. Its worth hanging in there. Let me know if I can help further. regards, Andrew - Original Message - From: Simon Hagel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2000 12:02 PM Subject: Same problem as A.J.

Same problem as A.J. Fortune
I happen to have the exact same problem as mr. Fortune has. When running ./configure, I get an error message stating I have gtk+ 1.2.6 installed. I have installed gtk+ 1.2.8, glib 1.2.8 and I have done a ldconfig. Still, when running gtk-config --version, it responds 1.2.6. When searching, I only find one gtk-config, in /usr/bin. BTW, I am what you call a very inexperienced compiler. I have been running linux (red hat 6.2) about a week. Could you please help me with this, if possible? Thanks, Simon.

Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues.....
When I get into these kinds of problems, it sometimes helps to
step back and take a systematic approach at fixing things. If
the current gtk is getting in the way, get rid of it, and make
it from scratch. First, uninstall the rpms (you don't seem to
be having trouble with glib, so I would let that be). Perhaps
rpms aren't the answer (since you're interchanging redhat with
mandrake rpms), so I suggest compiling gtk from source. First
make _sure_ all the other gtk stuff is gone by looking in your
/usr filesystem for any gtk-like names ('locate gtk' or if you
are mascochistic, 'find / -name gtk'), and get rid of them. I
don't see why you can't just delete these files, but it may be
wise to move them somewhere temporary just in case. I suggest
querying the rpms and seeing what files they put where so that
you have a better chance to get them all. Once your system is
clean, compile gtk (following the same basic steps as for gimp
perhaps specifying --prefix=/usr to ./configure if you want to
put the libraries in /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib, but I
suggest the default). Do a 'make install', and gimp should be
all set to compile...hopefully.
Good Luck!

Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues.....
Hi Jonathan, Thanks for replying. I have done as you recommended, and the results are as follows : * "gtk-config --version" returned 1.2.6 - so it seems that my attempt to remove version 1.2.6 and install 1.2.8 failed, in spite of the lack of errors, and in spite of the fact that a subsequent query 'rpm -q gtk+' returned '1.2.8'. * "type gtk-config" showed that this file was in /usr/bin. * "find '/' -name 'gtk-config" returned only one find (in /usr/bin, as above). I'm not sure how to best clarify my successes and failures. Basically, what has happened, over the last 2-3 weeks, is that I am gradually getting further thru' the configure script - but keep on encountering errors. I think my biggest victory so far is re-installing the Developer version of Linux and resolving the problem with the C compiler. With regards to my immediate error, I guess I will be able to get past this if I am successfully able to remove the version of GTK+ that is installed by default (1.2.6) and install the desired version (1.2.8). But the question for me is - how do I do it ? regards, Andrew - Original Message - From: Jonathan E.

Someone's said it before, but try: gtk-config --version It should return 1.2.8, but if it doesn't then try: type gtk-config Which should return the directory the gtk-config script appears in. If you compiled it yourself then it usually appears in /usr/local/bin.
