Jonathan,
I have found the solution to the previous error. I had to install gtk+-devel
v1.2.8, as well as gtk+. This has now enabled me to successfully complete
./configure.
I am now having problems during the 'make' phase. (sheeeeesh.....) 'Make'
chugged away for a good 10-15 minutes and then decided to spit out the
following error :
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/PDL/Core/pdlcore.h:4: ppport.h: No
such file or directory
make[4]: *** [Lib.o] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/mytemp/gimp-1.1.24/plug-ins/perl/Gimp
make[4]: *** [subdirs] Error 2
make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/mytemp/gimp-1.1.24/plug-ins/perl
make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/mytemp/gimp-1.1.24/plug-ins
make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/mytemp/gimp-1.1.24'
make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 2
Got any ideas about this ? .... perl is the reason why I am going through
all of this heartache - so I can get to the perl plug-ins (esp. perlotine).
Thanks again
regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Whilst in the act of checking whether the packages have updated correctly,
try these two:
gtkmm-config --version (I have 1.2.0) - GTK C++ extensions
glib-config --version (I have 1.2.8)
I'm surprised your having so much difficulty, I personally never bother with
RPM's instead I use
the sources. Like you I have little experience, but usually if you have a
good base system it
works nicely. Usually its a case of './configure', 'make', 'make install'
and then 'ldconfig'
(libs only).
I know how you feel, I tried the LinuxFromScratch-HOWTO, and failed. My
base system isn't new
enough to compile all the things I need, so I've tried to update the
compiler and so on. It ain't
easy, and you soon get lost when things don't work. Rather similar to your
situation...
I'm listening.
