help: trying to build imlib2
 

hi,

i'm trying to build imlib2 on my mandrake 10.0 box. my ultimate goal is to have an chinese input software (http://www.chinaunix.net/jh/4/369276.html) to work, but it asked for libImlib.so.11, so i have to build that first.

i downloaded imlib-1.9.14.tar.gz from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/imlib/1.9/ and untar it and ./configure, then it asked for tiff stuff, so after some research, i downloaded tiff-v3.6.0-beta2.tar.gz from http://dl.maptools.org/dl/libtiff/ and installed on my system (according to a roadmap given by this site http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-c...c&grep=libtiff). then i tried to ./configure imlib-1.9.14 again and i got this output.

so what's the deal for this 'checking for gif_lib.h... no
configure: error: *** GIF header not found ***' error?

machine specs:
Dell dimension 600Mhz/192M RAM/40G + 10G HDD
windows XP / Mandrake 10.0 dual boot
windows XP on hard drive #1 (40G), mandrake 10.0 on hard drive #2 (10G)

FWIW, this rpm has that file in it.

Hope this helps.

thank you for the info!

yeah, i got it imlib-1.9.14 './configure' and 'make' and 'make install' alrite after install that 'libungif4' package

but when i try to install the chinese rpm package (rf-xim-input-5.0-49.i386.rpm), i still got error msg below:

i've installed all the imlib packages, why it still asked for libImlib.so.11?

thanks,
