Need help installing the help files

Hi,

I tried to install the help package on my system and i got the following message after running configure.

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
configure: error:
** Couldn't find a GIMP-2.0 installation. If you want to skip this check and ** install the help files to the configured prefix, use the --without-gimp ** configure option. Note that GIMP will then only find the help files if it ** is installed in the same prefix. See the file 'INSTALL' for more help. root@ubuntu:/home/mak/programs/gimp-help-2-0.6 #

I am not sure how to proceed.

First of all you have to find your gimp-2.0.pc file Standard locations may be for example;

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc /opt/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc

Once you found it, then export your PKG_CONFIG_PATH

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ (correct path)

Now check it

pkg-config --modversion gimp-2.0

Then try installing your help

Hi Owen,

Thanks for the quick reply. On my system the the path is /usr/lib/pkgconfig; but in the pkgconfig directory there is no
gimp-2.0.pc file anywhere.

So what should is do next?

Well what is in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ?

If it is there, add that to your PKG_CONFIG path

On my system there is no /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig directory; only /usr/lib/pkgconfig; but as I said, there is no gimp-2.0.pc file in that directory.

You need to have the GIMP development package installed. The standard binary GIMP installation doesn't include the gimp-2.0.pc file. Alternatively, use a gimp-help package provided from the same source you got your gimp package from.

Hi Sven,

Thanks a lot for the installation advice. Now, the help file installed without complain. I suggest mentioning this installation requirement in the Install file as well.
