I just got bit by this DESTDIR installation problem, which I see has been discussed in the past before (e.g., http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2006-September/060985.html).
The Makefile in gtk+-2.10.13/gdk-pixbuf has this comment before the install-data-hook target: # Running this if cross compiling or if DESTDIR is set is going to # not work at all, so skip it # We use install-data-hook here to workaround a bug in automake and/or libtool # that makes the install target for the loader libraries a dependency on # install-data-am, and not install-exec-am. We need to ensure this gets run # after the libraries are installed in their final locations. If you do install into DESTDIR, it results in the following: *** *** Warning: gdk-pixbuf.loaders not built *** *** Generate this file manually on host *** system using gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders *** The not so obvious side effect is that /etc/gtk-2.0 doesn't get installed either and the message doesn't indicate that's where gdk-pixbuf.loaders ought to go. So I only discovered this while building libgnomeui (yes, I overlooked the warning :-(). I'm wondering if the gtk2 page shouldn't have a Configuring GTK+ (or post installation) section that discusses the possibility that /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders may not have been installed and if so, how to fix that.
