First of all you have to find your gimp-2.0.pc file Standard locations may be for example; /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc /opt/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc Once you found it, then export your PKG_CONFIG_PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ (correct path) Now check it pkg-config --modversion gimp-2.0 Then try installing your help Owen _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
