configure: error: Cannot find GIMP libraries: Please run ldconfig as root

It looks like you need to install the gimp-devel libgimpprint-devel zlib-devel and readline-devel rpms
so I checked update for each file and did an"update" from thw SuSE 8.1 DVD. Then I tried to do a ./configure again and received the same errors.

Did you run "ldconfig" to be sure? Well all you can do is check why the libraries are not found. Check if the libraries are there, if they really are, why aren't they in the cache? One possibilty is you have a symlink from /usr/local/bin/gcc to /usr/bin/gcc. And it is trying to use /usr/local/bin/gcc but it isn't finding it's libs in /usr/local/lib. I know it can happen, because I did it to myself once. What does "which gcc" say? -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
