gimp 2.8.0-RC1

I try install new gimp.
During compiling gimp:
configure: error: Package requirements (atk >= 2.2.0) were not met:

Requested 'atk >= 2.2.0' but version of Atk is 1.32.0

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ATK_CFLAGS
and ATK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


and atk:

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.31.2... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
*** GLIB 2.31.2 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. If GLIB is installed
*** but not in the same location as pkg-config add the location of the file
*** glib-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH.


Then I will try compile glib and install. But I wonder:
I can not remove the old glib (dependencies) then
Can I do this so that gimp use the new library?

Is there a better idea?

You can see a list of the dependencies here: http://translate.google.ca/translate?hl ... 6tbm%3Dblg

Gnome SlackBuild has all the dependencies (as binaries and SlackBuilds) except for GTK+2, Babl, and GEGL. I'd suggest using the GSB packages as an easy route around the problems you're having. I've built a SlackBuild for Babl, but I run into errors when I try to build GTK+2 or GEGL. I'd be interested in hearing anyone's methods for getting the new GIMP up. It sounds exciting.
Running a mix of Slackware64 13.37 + Gnome SlackBuild + Salix OS packages + some stuff I built myself and one or two things snagged from -current
