    I am trying to compile Gimp's new version. I have untarred the program
    and tried to run make and this is the errors that are returned.

    checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.2.2... no
    *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
    *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
    for the
    *** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly
    installed.
    checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config
    checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.2.0... no
    *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
    *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
    for the
    *** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly
    installed.
    configure: error: Test for GTK failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

    Well looking in the INSTALL file, they suggest Different ways of fixing
    it.

    The first one is ....
    * pkg-config could not find the file 'gtk+-2.0.pc' that gets installed
      with GTK. (This file is used to get information about where GTK+ is
      installed.)

      Fix: Either make sure that this file is in the path where pkg-config
      looks for it (try 'pkg-config --debug' or add the location of
      gtk+-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH before
    running configure.

    I do have the forementioned file "gtk+-2.0.pc" in the system and
    pkg-config will report the libraries as 2.2.2 so I do not think that is
    it.

    Second way is..

    The GTK+ libraries were not found at run time. The details
      of how to fix this problem will depend on the system:

      Fix: On Linux and other systems using ELF libraries, add the
      directory to /etc/ld.so.conf or to the environment variable
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and run 'ldconfig'.

      On other systems, it may be necessary to encode this path
      into the executable, by setting the LDFLAGS environment variable
      before running configure. For example:

        LDFLAGS="-R/home/joe/lib" ./configure
      or
        LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/joe/lib" ./configure

    Not sure which one applies to SuSE but I tried both and still it bombs
    out on the make process.

    Last one is ...

    An old version of the GTK+ libraries was found instead of
      your newly installed version. This commonly happens if a
      binary package of GTK+ was previously installed on your system,
      and you later compiled GTK+ from source.

      Fix: remove the old libraries and include files.

    Well I did not compile my own. I'm using the packages from
    usr-local-bin.

    Does anyone have any ideas why this will not work? I have SuSE 8.2.

    Sorry for the length of this but I was trying to get as much info as I
    can to help with this issue.

    Again thanks for any suggestions.
