I have the latest versions of libjpeg, libpng, libtiff and libXpm
installed with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set accordingly. I also downloaded and installed gimpprint, and gimp-help. After three compile attempts... 1) I still cannot save in any other format other than .xcf 2) There is still no 'file/print' menu option 3) The help-browser module still doesn't get built Thanks for any help?

The new (gimp2) "save" windows is different from the old (gimp1.x) one. by default, the gimp is set to save according to the file name you give, based on the extension. Maybe all you need to do is to type this extension.

Yes, the Gimp error console displays the message 'Unknown file type' when I try to open or save any file type with an extension other than .xcf >> 2) There is still no 'file/print' menu option > > there should be some useful information when you configure and/or make > the gimp about missing libraries and skipped functionalities.

I tried to delete all Gimp1.2 dependencies (without breaking anything else). I seem to have been successful in that, but I may have missed something. Gimp2.6 gets built and looks great with GTK but I just cannot determine why I cannot get it to open/save png, tiff, jpeg files, build the help-browser, nor print!!! Does CUPS need to be installed for gimpprint to work (I don't think so but thought I'd ask)? I'm lost here? Thanks for any help.
