Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively you may set the GIMP_CFLAGS and GIMP_LIBS environment
variables to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config
man page for more details. [tom@localhost gimp-gap-2.2.0]$ echo
$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
If you install gimp-devel, then pkg-config should be happy. The
gimp-devel package includes (among other needed things) the .pc files
needed for pkg-config to do it's thing.
Sometimes you may need to alter PKG_CONFIG_PATH if you've installed
something in /usr/local for example. Most of the time if you're
seeing this error it means you've missing the proper -devel package.
Thanks for the reminder. I noticed that the yum check-updates have not
been adding updates for quite a few days, now. Looks like I better bite
the bullet and try an upgrade to FC6. When I ran yum for the
development package, it errored with needing gimp-libs, which starts
with FC6 at the Freshmeat repo. Could be one of those nights, I guess. :)

FC6 will be EOL around December 2007.
Good point! Boy, it sure would be nice for the packages for Fedora to
be a little more backward-compatible. Is FC8 supposed to be released then?
