Compiling from git on Ubuntu 9.04

[Chris Mohler]

Hi,

Not sure how best to proceed - GIMP is requiring libgtk 2.16.6 to
proceed, and Ubuntu 9.04 is shipping 2.16.1.

Any ideas?

Also - the INSTALL file probably needs an update:
  4. You need to have installed GTK+ version 2.16.1 or newer

Well, I installed gtk 2.16.6 into /opt/gtk, then exported my
LD_CONFIG_PATH to there before compiling gimp (and also added to
PKG_CONFIG_PATH), so hopefully I've sidestepped that.  If I'm headed
for trouble with this approach, someone please let me know :)

It seems to be working OK, but it's not picking up the current GTK
settings/devices (like tablet).  I think this method will work well
enough for testing purposes though, and my stock 2.6.6 install seems
to be working just fine.

Thanks,
Chris

This might work and might not.

Start gimp from the console, but before you do set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to /opt/gtk or where ever you installed it

For me it worked for some time an then suddenly after rebuilding
something libtool was trying to link against wrong stuff and failed.
