I believe the problem is that pkg-config can't find your gtk+. The gnome-config message is just a side affect. One way to solve this problem is to set a PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable pointing to the pkgconfig sugdirectories of each package that pkg-config will be used for. Below are some lines from a script that I used for building the gimp under Windows. I think you probably need something similar, but with your own solaris paths instead of my Windows paths. Perhaps there is some better/alternative way to solve this problem, but that's how I handled it.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=\ D:\\source\\gettext-dev-0.10.40-20020904\\lib\\pkgconfig\;\ D:\\source\\glib-dev-2.0.6-20020802\\lib\\pkgconfig\;\ D:\\source\\gtk+-dev-1.3.0-20020912\\lib\\pkgconfig echo PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Hello,

I'm trying to build gimp 1.3.9 on solaris 5.8

I've already built gtk+ 2.0.6 and its sub-libs, they are installed in a "non-standard" location, pointed to by $USRLOC

I'm running the gimp configure like this: $ CPPFLAGS=-I$USRLOC/include LDFLAGS=-L$USRLOC/lib

./configure --prefix=$USRLOC

the output complains that it can't find gnome-config:

for the

*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly

installed.

configure: error: Test for GTK failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

what am I doing wrong?

I'm attaching the config.log (compressed)

thanks!!
