Cannot compile Gimp-2.0pre3


Hi all!!

After doing ./configure i get this error:
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.2.2... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log 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.

So i installed Gtk+-2.2.4 without any error, but when i try again to configure gimp, i got the same error. I've read the small help in INSTALL file in gimp source directory, but didn't help.

Why is that? Any suggestion/help¿

Thanx in advance

Silly point, but have you both run ldconfig to cache the newly created glib and gtk libraries? If you hadn't rebooted before trying Gimp again then it wouldn't have cached them.

Gimp 2 install HOW-TO

I've been trying to install Gimp2 on my RH from tarball, but when doing the configure thing, it said to me that i needed gtk+2.2.2 (at least)

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.2.2... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log 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.

so i downloaded the tarball for gtk+ 2.2.4 and i installed it. All went good.
After that, i did an ldconfig to update the system.

When doing another time the ./config thing on Gimp, it pop ups the same error. Even if i do a ./configure --disable-gtktest it happens all the time.

The help in INSTALL file, didn't help at all

Any help is welcomed, this is driving me crazy

This looks very much like: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=150355 - with that in mind.......

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.

If you were unhappy with the answers you received in your original thread, you should have replied to it giving more info.

Did you make sure that GTK2 installed in /usr instead of /usr/local? That sometimes happens. To find out, you can check for gtk stuff in /usr/local, or you can just run the configure script with the --path=/usr option. I hope this helps, even though you double-posted.

sorry for the double post >_<

Gtk+2.2.4 is located in /usr/local/lib/gtk+-2.0p
I haven't found any option to gimp configure to tell where gtk+ is. Only the variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH seems to tell where the file is located. So i set it with "set PKG_CONFIG_PATH="usr/local/lib/" " (as root) and then"export PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
I do another time ./configure, and the f***ing error is still there....

I think i will give up installing Gimp2 (or i'll wait until RH does the rpm).

Any further help is more than welcomed

It should be
Code:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

when installing, pango, gtk+, glib, atk, and all the other dependencies, "configure" with:
./configure --prefix=/usr
since it sets it up the prefix as /usr/local , and most distro. have it in /usr to start, so it seraches there first.
