libgimp/glib/gtk weirdness...

["Jules Bean" <jmlb2@hermes.cam.ac.uk>]

When trying to build my rather overdue debian package (libgimp-perl), I get
this at the configure stage:


configure:815: cc -o conftest  -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include 
 co
nftest.c  -L/usr/lib -lgimpui -lgimp -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -lglib

/usr/lib/libgimpui.so: undefined reference to `gtk_object_check_cast'

/usr/lib/libgimp.so: undefined reference to `g_warning'
/usr/lib/libgtk.so: undefined reference to `g_module_open'
/usr/lib/libgimp.so: undefined reference to `g_error'


Now, it looks to me like there is a mismatch between the -dev libraries I
have installed.

jules@pear% dpkg -l 'libg*dev' | grep 'ii'                              
7:39PM
ii  libgdbmg1-dev   1.7.3-25       GNU dbm database routines (development
files
ii  libgimp-dev     1.0.1-1        Header files for compiling plugins for
The G
ii  libglib-dev     1.1.3-2        Header files and static libraries for the

ii  libguile2-dev   1.2-5          Header files and development libraries
for g

My instinct is to guess that libgimp 1.0 won't compile against libgtk1.1. 
However, I can't backtrack to libgtk-dev, since libglib-dev requires
libgtk1.1.

Is this a bug?  If so, in which package?  I've copied Che into this email
anyway, since he seems to be reponsible for a large chunk of the programs
concerned.
