That's not necessary since GIMP looks in both places.

Check where your lcms.h file is. If it is at, /usr/include/lcms/lcms.h copy it to  
/usr/include/lcms.h and recompile.

Scribus (a DTP) went through the same problem a year or so ago

I don't think Jonathan tries to compile from source at all. He's
probably refering to the package manager not finding lcms installed.

Hi,

What about this one:

  http://mmmaybe.gimp.org/downloads/install_help.html

Also there used to be very elaborate instructions in the GIMP Wiki but
I am unable to locate them at the moment. Perhaps you want to have a
look yourself: http://wiki.gimp.org/

Actually it is documented in the file INSTALL (where it belongs).

Oh, I thought our default answer was "in two weeks" (of course without
specifying from when to count the two weeks from). Let's let it be
"less than a month" then.

The test we do for littlecms is very simple - we #include a header file from the 
distribution, and try to use a function defined in it, then compile & link the 
binary against the lcms library.

The possible errors are therefore (1) the header is not found, (2) the symbol is 
not found in the header, (3) the library is not found and (4) the symbol is not 
found in the library.

Of the 4, the likely problem is that the library is not being found - there is a 
search path for dynamic libraries specified in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and if 
you add /usr/loocal/lib (or wherever liblcms.so is installed) to this file, and 
run ldconfig as root, your problem will probably be solved.

Cheers,
Dave.

You will need the following for a full install of the GIMP:

Required:
GTK+ 2.2.4 + devel packages (this will normally install a bunch of other 
requirements, which I won't go into)
libart_lgpl + devel package
libpng + devel package
libjpeg + devel package
fontconfig 2.2.1 + devel package
pango with XFT backend (this might not be included in pango by default) + devel

Reccommended: (mostly for plug-ins, all require devel packages too)
libtiff
libwmf
rsvg (required for SVG import, export curves to SVG, etc)
libexif
gtk-doc
gtkhtml
ghostscript
gimpprint 4.2.x
I think that's about it... All this stuff is documented (with URLs for packages) 
in the README file in the distribution.

Or you can install the rpm (http://www.gnome.org/~drc/gimp-rpms/), which will 
tell you what you need, and you won't need the devel packages at all.

How many days away is the final release?
Probably less than a month.

Cheers,
Dave.

What is stressful about grabbing the RPMs from
http://www.gnome.org/~drc/gimp-rpms/ and installing them ?

> anyone have a report with examples of the GIMP and SVG?

SVG paths can be imported and exported. SVG can be imported and will
be rasterized on load (with the possibility to keep any paths).
