Gimp Install Problems
 

Hello there,

I'm trying to install the latest Gimp. I was told at the configure stage that I would need to install a bunch of other things as well. After much hasle I got pkg-config, blig, atk and now trying to get pango, gtk+ then gimp. Pango went in fine, but then gtk+ said that I needed pangox. So I looked for a solution. I found out that I might need to compile xft2. Which I tried, but It said I needed a better fontconfig. So I tried compiling fontconfig-2.2.0 and This is what I get at the make stage (just the last bit, not the whole script):

make[2]: *** [fcfreetype.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/adam/fontconfig-2.2.0/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/adam/fontconfig-2.2.0'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

Any Ideas how I can get this progressed?

for the error message to be helpful you need to provide a couple more lines. the error message should be just above the lines you provided....

make all-recursive

I have the exactually same error message when I was trying to install the fontconfig 2.2 / 2.3, can anyone help us here?

thanks~
