When I try to build gimp, the configure can't find libtiff (AC_CHECK_HEADER(tiffio.h)). Even when cd to the work directory and I manually add --includedir=/opt/local/include it fails. Any ideas? (I'm currently sync'd with the latest ports.)

Is anyone successful building gimp?

The gimp port is quite old and unmaintained. It's for the most recent version of gimp 1, 1.2.5, but that was released a long time ago in June 2003. Is there a reason you're not using the gimp2 port? gimp2 features the current stable version of gimp, 2.2.14, released just a week ago.
