Could you send me your config.log after you get your failure? 
Something is going wrong when its trying to link (at runtime I'd
guess) to gimp libraries; the program it runs is pretty much
hard-coded to return success right now.

Can't help with the gtkhtml/doc issues, maybe someone else knows that better.

Thanks,

The answer is right there in front of you. 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.

This is completely unrelated to gtkhtml2. You need to install the GIMP
help files available from
   
   ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/help/

[Gimp-user] Gimp perl and online docs problems.

2004-05-18 Thread Tom Cole
I've been trying to install perl for Gimp 2.0, which I pretty much need to use 
many of the functions.

However, I keep getting the following output:

checking for GIMP - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GIMP test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding GIMP or finding the wrong

configure: error: ** unable to find gimp, make sure it's in your path (version 
1.3.15+ required!)

I have no idea what any of this means. Can somene explain it and help me?

Also, even though I have gtkhtml installed and working, it seems to not be 
able to find my gimp-2.0 online help. The browser comes up and I get the 
following error:

The GIMP help files are not installed.

Could not open '/usr/local/share/gimp/2.0/help/en/gimp-help.xml' for reading: 
No such file or directory

Please check your installation.

Got no errors (after much fiddling) for gtkhtml when ./configure-ing gimp-2.0. 
So what's up?

Many thanks,

Tom
