Did you somehow get your $prefix/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders messed up? The file is supposed to look like the output of the gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders command.

Nope, diff tells me that /etc/opt/gnome/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders is the same as the output of the gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders command

go into the images directory, then "make clean". after that, if "make" still can't find gdk-pixbuf-csource, then you'll need to figure out where it went. :)

/opt/gnome/bin/gdk-pixbuf-csource is where it went to.
Nothing wrong there... It just keeps giving the same error though. LIke I said, the csource error is not the fatal one. It disappears if I type make twice.

The really bad one is about undeclared thingamies:


icons.c: In function `icons_rarrow_pixbuf':
icons.c:42: error: `logjam_rarrow' undeclared (first use in this function)
icons.c:42: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/archives/pkgs/Journal/logjam-4.4.0/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

nah, the pixbuf error is the important one. the make file tries to do something like this:

gdk-pixbuf-csource arg1 arg2 > somefile

so when it can't find the program, that "somefile" is created as an empty file, and so subsequent runs of make say "oh, 'somefile' has already been made so we don't have to worry about doing that."

and then the compile later fails because it expects that file to be filled with the output of the pixbuf program.
