compiling woes

I am attempting to compile 2.4 on a fresh Slackware 12.0 install. When I run ./configure, I get a message at the end about needing pygtk, but I have pygtk installed and the version number is high enough. Do I need some kind of development headers and if so, where do I get them?

Make sure you have pkg-config installed and your PyGTK installation is setup with the ".rc" file in the right place. I believe the Gimp build process uses pkg-config to "sniff out" the various versions of the support libraries it needs. You just might need the PyGTK development packages installed if your pkg-config installation is good.

Peace...

You will need the development package. Called python-gtk-dev on this Ubuntu system, can't help with slackware nomenclature

I had problems with pygtk and gimp-2.4 on Slackware-12 until I upgraded to pygtk-2.12.0 from slacky.eu, which is where I get my Gnome from.

Thanks for the tip about slacky.eu. Solved the problem in more ways than one. I got the pygtk package, and they also had a package for 2.4, so didn't do any compiling at all. That's a handy site to know about, tho it takes a bit of guesswork, since I can't read Italian.
