Unfortunately, I don't know squat about the process but figured trying it would help slow my brain from atrophying at its currently rapidly accelerating pace. Not wanting to disrupt the current environment (gimp 2.6 built from ports), I wanted to build 2.8 someplace else. Since gimp-2.8.2 requires babl-0.1.10, I thought I'd start there. It's not clear to me what params or environment variables to set prior to running ./configure to generate a Makefile which will cause it to use newly built stuff in preference, but still find installed stuff if necessary and then install in a different place. Just doing ./configure and then make craps out with Making all in babl "Makefile", line 959: Missing dependency operator which is a line which says: -include $(INTROSPECTION_MAKEFILE) which is defined empty Looking at the installed version of babl (babl-0.1.6), this and other symbols are all defined to be something out of /usr/local which leads me to think I'm missing something pretty basic. hints? Thanks, Gary
