Hello all,
I am trying to compile the gimp 2.9.2 release on a 64-bit Kubuntu 14.04 system. I think I've gotten through all the dependencies, but I'm running into a wall with this error:

Making all in libgimpthumb
make[2]: Entering directory
`/home/bobmon/Downloads/t/gimp-2.9.2/libgimpthumb' CCLD gimp-thumbnail-list
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib: File format not recognized collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [gimp-thumbnail-list] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/bobmon/Downloads/t/gimp-2.9.2/libgimpthumb' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bobmon/Downloads/t/gimp-2.9.2' make: *** [all] Error 2

As far as I can tell, I'm not doing anything weird (but apparently I am). /usr/lib does exist, and is full of the sorts of things I expect to see there. I've tried running "sudo make", with the same result.

Any help on how to resolve this?

thanks, -Bob M.
