After having successfully configured cups and gimp-print from source on my 7.1 box, I'm now experiencing a problem do so on the 8.1 side. 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 *** Could not run GIMP test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GIMP was incorrectly installed *** or that you have moved GIMP since it was installed. In the latter case, you *** may want to edit the gimptool script: /usr/bin/gimptool configure: error: Cannot find GIMP libraries: Please run ldconfig as root I've installed GIMP and all the associated libraries with YaST2 and "whereis gimp" gives: gimp: /usr/bin/gimp /etc/gimp /usr/lib/gimp /usr/share/gimp /usr/share/man/man1/gimp.1.gz Looking over config.log reveals the following but I have no idea if this is the problem or what to if it is: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.2/../../../../i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure: failed program was: #line 8623 "configure" ######### occurs 4 times but with different line numbers obviously /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.2/../../../../i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lz collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure: failed program was: #line 9941 "configure" ######## occurs 2 times but with different line numbers obviously printf("\n*** 'gimptool --version' returned %d.%d.%d, but the minimum version\n", 1, 2, 3); printf("*** of GIMP required is %d.%d.%d. If gimptool is correct, then it is\n", major, minor, micro); printf("*** best to upgrade to the required version.\n"); printf("*** If gimptool was wrong, set the environment variable GIMPTOOL\n"); printf("*** to point to the correct copy of gimptool, and remove the file\n"); printf("*** config.cache before re-running configure\n"); return 1; I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with the info about ldconfig - I did run as root but nothing changed after having done so. I'm running SuSE8.1, the kernel is 2.4.19-GB, KDE 3.0.4 (if important), gimp-print 4.2.5 (source), and cups 1.1.18 (source), and GIMP 1.2.3. I thought this would be a piece of cake after playing with the 7.1 side of the box, but that install was much simpler. Any suggestions would be appreciated, especially with respect on how to interpret the config.log file and the comment about GIMP supposedly having been moved since the install. tia, dave
