Cannot compile gimp 2.0.x on RHAT9 --> GTK+2 not found

Red hat 9 ships with GTK+, version 1.2.10. Gimp 2.x requires GTK+, version 2.

The gimp installation file notes:

"You need to have installed GTK+ version 2.2.2 or better. Do not try to use an older GTK+ version (1.2.x), it will not work. GTK+-2.x and friends can be installed side by side with GTK+-1.2."

OK. So I download, compile and install gtk+-2.2.4 into default location of /usr/local. Redhat put gtk+ 1.x in another location (/usr/lib and /usr/share)

When I run the gimp configure program after the GTK+ 2.2.4 installation, I still receive the 'missing gtk+ 2 error':

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.2.2... no

There appears to be no way to tell gimp's configure script where to find the GTK+ 2.2.4 version in /usr/local/lib. If there is, PLEASE tell me!

The INSTALL file describes how to 'fix' my problem:

* 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.

So, the INSTALL file contradicts itself by saying that 1) GTK+ 1 and 2 can coexist, but that 2) I need to remove GTK+1 for configure to find GTK+2.

It's not a fix remove the GTK+ rpm as there are many dependancies on Red Hat 9.

Does any one have a suggestion to solve this problem?

Thanks

Tell pkg-config where it should find GTK+

Nah, just a bit lack of knowledge on your side ;)

HTH, Michael

this looks like something that can be fixed if you do two things. maybe you need to add the path (/usr/local/lib) to ld.config and run "ldconfig". or it might do the trick to simply download this shell script from wgo:
http://www.gimp.org/source/howtos/gimpenv type "source gimpenv" with the console you are building with.

good luck with redhat 9. it is slightly old.

Thanks for clearing it up. I'm not too experienced with GNOME utils. And I see that the .pc files are quite useful. I was used to the *old* way where you specified non-standard library paths as parameters to the configure script.

Anyway, for the record here's what I did:

1. edit /etc/ld.conf - added /usr/local/lib - This is where GTK+2 was installed (by default).
2. set the env variables. The GTK+ 2 package config file gtk+-2.0.pc gets installed (by default) to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. So for this configure script to find it set:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Similary, the GTK+ 2 libraries are installed in /usr/local/lib, so set:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

FYI - I tried editing /etc/ld.conf (adding /usr/local/lib) and then running /sbin/ldconfig and this didn't work.

I then reran ./configure for gimp 2.0.6 and it worked.

Thanks! Jeff
