Re: Problem configuring gnustep-core

[David Relson]

Frederic,

Adam already gave me the --with-tiff-library=/usr/GNUstep... tip.

I just tried installing the libtiff-devel...rpm and it works great.  I 
guess I have to up my level of suspicion/paranoia and learn to look for the 
xxx-devel-xxx.rpm packages whenever I hit a problem.  I guess I haven't 
been bitten enought times by the lack of installed devel*rpm packages to 
think of them.

Thanks.

David
