There are trak items for this issue but it seems to be setting fallow for a while and this is leaving me unable to install gimp. Has anybody any clue how to work around poppler not building so that I can get on with trying to install gimp on my Mac? -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."
