Hi all

I am having no luck installing gimp 2 from source.

I am configuring using "./configure --enable-shared".

This is not working.

This is what I get at the end/crash.

checking for libgtkhtml-2.0 >= 2.0.0... Package libgtkhtml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgtkhtml-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libgtkhtml-2.0' found
configure: WARNING: *** Help browser plug-in will not be built (GtkHtml2 not found) ***
checking for librsvg-2.0 >= 2.2.0... Package librsvg-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `librsvg-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'librsvg-2.0' found

checking for GIMP-PRINT - version >= 4.2.0... no *** The gimpprint-config script installed by GIMP-PRINT could not be found *** If GIMP-PRINT was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GIMPPRINT_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to gimpprint-config.
configure: error:
*** Check for libgimpprint failed. You can download it from *** http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ or you can build without it by passing
*** --disable-print to configure (but you won't be able to print then).

There is a problem though. The packages are present. I have added /usr/lib to the ld.so.conf file and ldconfiged. Still no luck.

Why is this happening?

Cheers and kind regards in advance.

Hi

I have been downloading devel packages and some of the problems have gone, apart from
checking for gimpprint-config... no
checking for GIMP-PRINT - version >= 4.2.0... no *** The gimpprint-config script installed by GIMP-PRINT could not be found *** If GIMP-PRINT was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GIMPPRINT_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to gimpprint-config.
configure: error:

*** --disable-print to configure (but you won't be able to print then).

I have the correct gimpprint installed. But is not recognised.

[david@localhost david]$ rpm -qa | grep gimp gimp-1.2.5-10mdk
libgimp1.2_1-devel-1.2.5-10mdk
libgimp1.2-1.2.5-10mdk
libgimp1.2_1-1.2.5-10mdk
xsane-gimp-0.92-1mdk
gimpprint-4.2.6-14mdk
libgimpprint1-4.2.6-14mdk

Did you
adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable as suggested in the configure output?

I do not understand this.

Did you read the file INSTALL which explains how to deal with these problems?

Yes I have read the file.

kind regards..........david

--enable-shared is the default.

Are you sure that you have got development packages installed for these? Does pkg-config see libgtkhtml-2.0 and librsvg-2.0? Did you adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable as suggested in the configure output? Did you check if gimpprint-config is available on your system and in your PATH? Did you read the file INSTALL which explains how to deal with these problems?

Hi

Thanks for the help and suggestions. I finally have got past the ./configure stage with no problems.

Do you have a file gimpprint-config ? Where is it?

If not I think you need to install libgimpprint1-devel-4.2.XXX.mdk where XXX is your version number off your CD

Actually I could not find the libgimpprint-devel that matched. I tried one higher, then one lower. The lower worked.

But once again thanks.
