[Description SpanKY 2002-06-26 20:45:48 UTC]

so i got to emerge gimp-print-cups-4.3.0 and it dies

emerge display:
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
configure: error: Cannot find GTK: Is gtk-config in path?

config.log:
configure:12059: checking for gtk-config
configure:12088: result: no
configure:12096: checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0
configure:12227: result: no
configure:12297: error: Cannot find GTK: Is gtk-config in path?

soooooooo i had been able to emerge gimp-print-cups-4.2.0-r1 just fine.
went into the working dir and ran ./configure ... it worked
played with the ebuild for a bit ... removed the --enable-lexmarkutil and ran 
emerge again, worked fine

dont know what system specs/setup you want info on ... but this was on a print 
server ... i.e. nothing graphical based was installed, plus it had only HP 
printers attached (no need for lexmark, assuming its for just lexmark printers)

The ebuild for gimp-print-cups does not have GTK+-1.2 listed as a dependency,
for some reason. I have added it.  Please emerge --clean rsync and try to emerge
gimp-print-cups. I guarantee you won't have this error.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
