I am trying to compile Gimp's new version. I have untarred the program and tried to run make and this is the errors that are returned. checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.2.2... no *** Could not run GTK+ 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 GTK+ is incorrectly installed. checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.2.0... no *** Could not run GTK+ 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 GTK+ is incorrectly installed. configure: error: Test for GTK failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help. Well looking in the INSTALL file, they suggest Different ways of fixing it. The first one is .... * pkg-config could not find the file 'gtk+-2.0.pc' that gets installed with GTK. (This file is used to get information about where GTK+ is installed.) Fix: Either make sure that this file is in the path where pkg-config looks for it (try 'pkg-config --debug' or add the location of gtk+-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH before running configure. I do have the forementioned file "gtk+-2.0.pc" in the system and pkg-config will report the libraries as 2.2.2 so I do not think that is it. Second way is.. The GTK+ libraries were not found at run time. The details of how to fix this problem will depend on the system: Fix: On Linux and other systems using ELF libraries, add the directory to /etc/ld.so.conf or to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and run 'ldconfig'. On other systems, it may be necessary to encode this path into the executable, by setting the LDFLAGS environment variable before running configure. For example: LDFLAGS="-R/home/joe/lib" ./configure or LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/joe/lib" ./configure Not sure which one applies to SuSE but I tried both and still it bombs out on the make process. Last one is ... An old version of the GTK+ libraries was found instead of your newly installed version. This commonly happens if a binary package of GTK+ was previously installed on your system, and you later compiled GTK+ from source. Fix: remove the old libraries and include files. Well I did not compile my own. I'm using the packages from usr-local-bin. Does anyone have any ideas why this will not work? I have SuSE 8.2. Sorry for the length of this but I was trying to get as much info as I can to help with this issue. Again thanks for any suggestions. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
