I don't know if any of you are aware of how very difficult it is to build gimp-gap-2.4.0 in the openSUSE environment? For a Debian environment, it didn't take too much, except compiling the latest libraries of GTK, Glib and Pango (etc) by hand ... and installing them one-by-one. This may be what is necessary on openSUSE, but, even still, the libraries that ship with the OS should be enough to compile it, right? I mean, it seems a little harder on openSUSE... For instance: the ./configure program will run and it will run completely, but there are several points during the make that it crashes, even after supposedly finding all of the dependencies that it deems necessary for the build. Libraries are not where they should be, header files are not where they should be. I've joined the comp.graphics.apps.gimp newsgroup on USENET, and the one person who replied simply said "it takes 5 hours of tedium, and I can't remember how I actually pulled it off." Well... considering GIMP's overall popularity, do you think someone back there could spend 5 hours creating a gimp-gap RPM to stick onto the 11.0 version? Just a thought. I would hate to think that my Windows environment could do something with a GTK+ based program that my Linux environment couldn't, without hassle.
