Hi, I don't know if it is important, but it takes me a while before finding this bug, so... I tried to compile the Gimp-1.2 pre-release (1.1.24). The problem was about the MPEG library. The configure can't detect it (actually the library was detected but the configure was looking for GetMPEGframe() and can't reach it). I search for a long time before finding that there was another libmpeg installed by kdemultimedia-1.91.20000716-2 and that does NOT contain the function GetMPEGframe(). I just have to uninstall this package to have Gimp compiled properly. I think it it important to fix this bug before Gimp goes to 1.2.0. Friendly
the kde2 packages are gone now, so the gimp should be able to properly read mpeg files
Actually, I'm not quite sure but the libmpeg library was in kde1, too (it is used by aktion). Do you mean that you plan to not include kde in your distribution?
