   I've been having problems getting the repository to compile for about a
   week or so.  I finally got gimp 1.1.21 downloaded and compiled (a story
   all by itself), but have still been unsuccessful.  I get the following
   error:
   checking for GIMP - version >= 1.0.0... no
   *** Could not run GIMP 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 GIMP was incorrectly
   installed
   *** or that you have moved GIMP since it was installed. In the latter
   case, you
   *** may want to edit the gimptool script: /usr/local/bin/gimptool
   configure: error: Cannot find GIMP libs: Please run ldconfig
   make: *** [config.status] Error 1
   print> 

   As far as I can tell, the libs are where they've always been, and
   gimptool --version returns version 1.1.21.  My sandbox still compiles
   fine with an older version of configure.  As I'm getting fairly close to
   getting the notebook GUI done I'd like to make sure I can get everything
   to compile from the repository.  Any help would be appreciated.

Try running ldconfig after installing the Gimp.  Unfortunately, that
doesn't happen automatically...
