Error installing glib-networking
#1
I was following the installation instructions to install GIMP GIT in https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography...tists.html ' My system is Fedora 64 Cinnamon bit.

When I type:
Code:
./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX --disable-gtk-doc --with-gimpdir=$HOME/code/gimpdefault/install/config


 I get the following error:

Code:

Error: GIMP configuration failed.

 - Error: missing dependency glib-networking
     *** Test for glib-networking failed. This is required.

See the file 'INSTALL' for more help.

Configure failed or did not finish!
What should I do to fix this error?

ps: When I do  
Code:
dnf install glib-networking

I get:
Code:
Package glib-networking-2.50.0-2.fc26.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Package glib-networking-2.50.0-2.fc26.i686 is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
There is no glib-networking-devel as far as I know.

Try looking for libgiognutls rather than glib-networking I think it is part of that.

edit: A bit of a search around and there is reference to a glib-networking issue when compiling for Windows.

Have you asked on a Fedora forum? or I think there are some Fedora users on https://discuss.pixls.us/ might br worth asking for advice there.

Thanks, they have helped me out in that Forum. Here is how I solved it:
I replaced the line 
export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib/gio/modules

with 

export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib64/gio/modules

This is a necessary for the Fedora system. Other systems like ubuntu and debian also require a different export variable. Check the link https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography...tists.html
