Yup, using pkgsrc, and got all the files.

Ok, I've got Gimp compiled and packaged. ldconfig -v says that it knows
about /usr/pkg/lib/***** but it wouldnt link against those libs - in the
end I copied them to /usr/local/lib. Why wouldnt they work in
/usr/pkg/lib/?

Anyway, is it worth while uploading the package, and if so, to where?

Got it to compile (the release version, at least) by commenting out line
254/55 of gcc/config/arm/arm.c - it checks to see if there is an arm in my
machine, but for some reason

if (! sommat->stuff)
	abort();

caused an "internal compiler error".

Anyway, I'll get on with recompiling KDE, and making Mico and KOffice.

I'm sure I`ll be back before long. Thanks for all the help,
