Re: [nylug-talk] Re: GIMP How to configure????

Yes this is a SuSE distro.

When I do which gtk-config it returns /usr/local/bin Should I do a which gtk-conf --libs --cflags?

I must say eventhough this has been a frustrating experience, I've learned alot. I'm sure this will help me in the future dealings with my system. I think it's good to "know my box," how it works and the file structure.

I was thinking of removing all references to gtk and starting over. Is this a good idea? Should I untar the gtk+-1.2.10.tar.gz file in /usr/local and run ./configure from there?

Thanks again for all the help and patience

You are right.  His config file can't seem to find the libraries.
usr/bin/gtk-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl
-lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm


Do a which gtk-config and see the output of gtk-conf --libs --cflags

Your setup seems to be inherently confused.  Is this SuSe?  They set things
up differently and they don't install the development system, which can be
a big problem.

, which is the script to
provide the compile time options. This issue is where gtk is as a
heirarchy, in this case /usr/local.
