./configure doesn't find fontconfig2

Hello Everyone -

I've been trying to install GIMP 2.0 on my Mac (OS X Panther), but have a couple of problems on my way. Maybe I should just wait until it finds it's way to the FINK ports, but I'm way too impatient, and it oughta be possible to install it from source, right?

Nah, anyway, my problem shows up when I run ./configure. I installed the new fontconfig package, but the ./configure script output keeps claiming that I have only the old libraries installed...

Where does ./configure look for the libraries, and can anyone suggest a workaround? I would really appreciate that.

Best regards,

AFAIK, there's a fink port of GIMP 1.3. And you could try using darwinports. They are at gimp2.0rc1 last time I checked.

You could have a look at config.log to find out what exactly goes wrong.

I guess you need to set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to point the compiler and linker to the right version of fontconfig. 'configure --help' will show you how to do that.
