How to install help system for 2.0

Without difficulty, I downloaded the Fedora rpm and am now happily playing with Gimp 2.0. Nice work, everyone!

However, when I attempted to download the tarball and do the "./configure", I get the following message:

checking for gimp-2.0... Package gimp-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gimp-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gimp-2.0' found

I couldn't find the gimp-2.0.pc file anywhere using locate. Suggestions?

Don't you have some -dev package ?

You need to install the GIMP development RPM that's available from the same place you got your GIMP-2.0 RPM from. Or, alternatively, you can configure gimp-help-2 with the --without-gimp option. It will then not attempt to locate your GIMP installation and will simply install the help files into the configured prefix. If GIMP is installed in the same prefix, it will find the help files there. You will probably have to specify --prefix=/usr to make this happen.
