Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Autoconfig trouble...

[Robert L K. <rl...@al...>]

You need to install gimp.m4 from your Gimp installation into your
aclocal directory (probably /usr/share/aclocal or
/usr/local/share/aclocal).  I thought the Gimp did that (when
installed as root, at any rate), but maybe not.

If you do run aclocal, beware that versions of the Gimp from 1.1.17
and earlier have a version of gimp.m4 that will create an incorrect
configure script.  The patch is as follows:

diff -u /usr/local/share/aclocal/gimp.m4~ /usr/local/share/aclocal/gimp.m4
