Re: [gtk-list] GIMP/Gtk bug report

[Matthew Shawn Wilson <mswilso2 catt ncsu edu>]

This isn't really much of a bug, but the way gtk-config is designed.
You can specify the path to gtk-config by doing the following:
in bash like shells:  GTK_CONFIG=/full/path/to/gtk-config ./configure
and in csh like shells: setenv GTK_CONFIG=/full/path/to/gtk-config; ./configure

And adding to your PATH isn't very hard.  For exmaple:
in bash:  export PATH=$PATH:/prefix/to/gtk-config
and csh:  setenv PATH ${PATH}:/prefix/to/gtk-config

Hope this helps people having problems.
