If they weren't you should have built them like ./configure --prefix-/usr If you read ./configure --help you will see that unless you do this, it will be built in /usr/local Now that it is in /usr/local you need to set enviroment variables so that it picks up that library Try (presume Fedora is sort of standard linux) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ That way it will look at /usr/local before /usr owen _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
