Thanks to everyone who responded (both on and off the list). As I suspected I needed to recompile the gimp. However I also needed to recompile glib, gtk, pango, atk, fontconfig, freetype, and libtiff. The thread at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/member.php?action=mailform&userid=179995 was very helpful and amit rao was extremely nice in providing personal help.
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/home/strycat/usr/lib/pkgconfig LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/home/strycat/usr/lib PATH=$PATH:/home/strycat/usr/bin All of the aforementioned packages needed to have the --prefix=/home/strycat/usr added to the ./configure line. I still have a few minor problems (couldn't find SGV or libgtkhtml) but the main problem of no tiff support has been resolved. After all of this, the GIMP 2.2 had better be the best program in the whole world. Thanks again to everyone who helped. -Tom On 4/26/05, Tom Cat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think this has hit on the problem.... > libtiff is showing up in /usr/lib instead of $HOME/usr/lib > It is also the ancient version instead of the new version. > > Now how the heck to I get it to look in the right place?
