You should have several gimp-2.0.pc files if you have several installations. You will need to find them. Standard locations would be for example; /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc /opt/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc Determine which gimp you want the help files to be associated with, eg the one in say /usr/local Then export your PKG_CONFIG_PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ Now check it pkg-config --modversion gimp-2.0 Then try installing your help Owen _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
