Hi all,

I hate having to bother this list with tiresome compile problems, but here goes:

Earlier this week, I installed 2.3.7 under Ubuntu (Breezy). At the moment, I am trying to do the same under Fedora Core 4, but I am having less success. In particular, I keep getting this error message from configure:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.8.8... no *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why... *** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means *** that the run-time linker is not finding GTK+ or finding the wrong *** version of GTK+. If it is not finding GTK+, you'll need to set your *** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point *** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that *** is required on your system

*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although *** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH configure: error: Test for GTK+ failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

Run "pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0" to see what version of GTK+ is registered with pkg-config. I think the Gimp configure script uses pkg-config to get the locations of GLIB and GTK+ includes and libs.

If the version of GTK+ registered to pkg-config doesn't match what you know is installed, you can fix that problem.

If you like, e-mail me your config.log and I can possibly let you know what you need to fix.

Peace...

set PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that pkg-config picks up glib and gtk+ from the right locations.

configure detected the correct version of gtk+ and built a test program against it. But this test program cannot be executed, most probably because the linker didn't find the gtk+ library. Have you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Ah, right, I changed that to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ to get glib to compile. Ok, so I now change it back to /usr/lib/pkgconfig/. Still no go. What am I missing?

Ok, in your config.log I found this:

So, you need to fix your pango installation. Is suggest installing Cairo first:

http://cairographics.org/

and then pango:

ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/

and then try building Gimp 2.3.7. Why libpangocairo is being linked in, I don't know but that's the problem. That is why the test program didn't run.

Peace...
