Interesting. I investigated that a bit. It turns out that the package I am building uses /usr/bin/gimptool --libs to find out its link-line. This is reasonable (although, if someone can point me in the direction of a concise explanation of my why /usr/bin has to be polluted by gimptool, gtk-config, imlib-config etc., I'd be grateful). /usr/bin/gimptool appears not to know about -lgmodule. However, it is written to fall back on gtk-config. gtk-config *does* know about -lgmodule. Apparently, I have to set an environment variable to force this override (GTK_CONFIG=/usr/bin/gtk-config). So, I did this. Now I get another link error. This is a mess... configure:815: cc -o conftest -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/lib/glib/include co nftest.c -L/usr/lib -lgimpui -lgimp -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgm odule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm 1>&5 /usr/lib/libgimp.so: undefined reference to `g_debug' /usr/lib/libgimpui.so: undefined reference to `gtk_object_check_cast' /usr/lib/libgimp.so: undefined reference to `g_message' /usr/lib/libgimp.so: undefined reference to `g_warning' /usr/lib/libgimp.so: undefined reference to `g_error' Any help appreciated, (Shall I shift over to -mentors?)
