Cups configured and installed without a glitch but the installation of gimp-print is giving me fits. Here is, I believe, the significant data with respect to the failure of the ./configure command I'm issuing:
linux:/home/dcjohan/gimp-print/gimp-print-4.2.5 # ./configure --with-cups --without-translated-ppds
checking for GIMP - version >= 1.2.0... no
configure: error: Cannot find GIMP libraries: Please run ldconfig as root
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.2/../../../../i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline cannot find -lz collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
It looks like you need to install the gimp-devel libgimpprint-devel zlib-devel and readline-devel rpms Suse separates the developement libraries and header files from the runtime program files. If you install gimp or gimpprint from a source tarball, it includes everything, but rpms are separated into runtime and devel. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
