Configure went OK, but when I did the "make" I immediately get this message:

make[1]: Entering directory cinepaint/libhalf
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=link g++ -O2 -march=native -o eLut eLut.o
libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.4.2, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.2
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make[1]: *** [eLut] Error 63

My system is the latest Gentoo with libtool-2.4.2 and gcc-4.6.2

However, I was able to fix this by executing "autoreconf" from the
top-level directory.  This seemed to have rebuilt all the necessary
files.  Probably everyone who downloads the source will need to
run autoreconf.

After again doing "make" the compilation stopped with errors concerning
the iol and png plugins.  The png problem is no surprise because the
release of libpng-1.5.x has many changes that break many programs.
The png plugin will have to be patched to accommodate these changes.

I was able to quickly "fix" these two plugin problems by simply
removing iol and png from the plug-ins/Makefile.  I don't need
either of them so for me it is irrelevant.

After this "fix" cinepaint-1.0 compiled and executed without further
problem.  I used it to do some 16-bit image processing and experienced
no difficulty.  As the days go by I'll be able to test more.

To recap, the only major problems in compilation are the need
for "autoreconf" and the broken png plug-in for those who are
using libpng-1.5.x.

It's good to see another version of cinepaint.
