Dom,
I couldn't find your instructions. In any event, I re-tried compiling from a
sub-directory under my root directory, and got the following error during
./configure :
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... found
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you
must specify one
[root@localhost gimp-1.1.24]#
I scoured the newsgroups for a solution to this error. The general concensus
was that you need to have automake, autoconf and make installed. The problem
in my case is that I already have these packages installed, but this message
still comes up.
regards,
Andrew
