For some reason, the script thinks I have a version of gimp older
than v1.00, but I don't:

1.0.4

gimp-libgimp-1.0.4-5
gimp-devel-1.0.4-5
gimp-1.0.4-5
gimp-manual-1.0.0-6
gimp-data-extras-1.0.0-4

As far as I can tell, I have the required packages installed,
gimp is at v1.04 (newer than 1.0.0 I think...) yet the configure
script doesn't recognize this.

The config.log file shows this:

Which made me go check to see if limits.h was missing, yet it
appears to exist in abundance:

/home/httpd/html/manual/vhosts/fd-limits.html
/usr/include/limits.h
/usr/include/kpathsea/c-limits.h

/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/include/limits.h
/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/include/linux/limits.h

Gimp runs fine; I doubt it is incorrectly installed.  I haven't
moved gimp since installing it.  I've run ldconfig as root with
no joy.

What am I missing here?

I've just come here with the exact same problem. I'm using RH6.2 and the
2.2.16 kernel - and I think I've discovered what the problem is, but not
how to solve it.

It's to do with this:

Quote:> /usr/include/bits/local_lim.h:27: linux/limits.h: No such file or
> directory

#include <linux/limits.h>

If it's replaced by this

#include "/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/limits.h"

the ./configure script runs fine, but then make fails complaining about
a similar "#include <linux/something.h>" line.

So it would seem the compiler's looking in the wrong place for
<linux/something.h> files, yeah? Thing is, I don't know where that's
defined - anyone like to help out?
