[ale] Gimp upgrade prob

[Mark Wright]

Hi All,

This is a difficult upgrade problem.  I upgraded Gimp to 22. from 1.2 
and printing from Gimp quit working.  A little reading revealed that 
Gimp-print version I had (1.x I think)  won't work with Gimp 2.2 so I 
installed gimp-print 4.2.  Still didn't work, so I installed gimp-print 
5 beta and completely broke Gimp's ability to print.

Decided to try to reinstall Gimp 2.  Configure fails checking the gtk+ 
version installed.  Reading more I find that gimp-print 4 and 5 needs 
gtk+2.2 or better so I installed gtk+2.4.  Still no love.  I 
un-installed the old gtk libs incase the script was confusing them. 
Still no config.

So, I am trying to run the ./configure script for Gimp .2.2 but it 
cannot find the gtk+2 libraries.  Here is a snip from the configure 
failure.

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.
configure: error: Test for GTK+ failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

I am looking at the code in the configure script to determine where it 
is looking for gtk+ but since I am only a programmer wanna-be I haven't 
a flippin idea of what I am looking at. (I only know enough to break 
things)

Anyone got time to look at this script and tell me how to satisfy it or 
know how to fix this issue in a more painless fashion?

Thanks,

Mark
