I the put in the perl gimp lib and it complianed I had the wrong version of perl. I that point I banged my head on the wall a couple times and noticed I was getting the same satisfaction there as I was building Gimp. So I went and dl it from Ximian. Compiled against potato, woody, and sid (sounds like a law firm for Walt Disney), it works great. I'd still like to compile it, but not at the price of multiple librray upgrades and breaking my system. If you know a way, please share. If not, Ximian is thataway. Jonathan

But I haven't installed Ximian and I don't intend to. If it was just Perl, it's one thing. I have a nasty feeling that once I upgraded perl, it would be something else. If someone has successfully done it against potato then I'd love to here. Until then, I have it up and running. Jonathan

Installing Ximian doesn't involve upgrading perl. If you want to see what it does upgrade, look at their Packages.gz. Its basically Gtk+, the Gnome libs, and some Gnome apps. You should be able to compile Gimp 1.2 on Potato by getting Gtk+ 1.2.8 from someplace - the Ximian libgtk1.2 and libglib1.2 packages should install without requiring anything else from Ximian. Everything else needed for building Gimp 1.2 is available in Potato. later, Andrew

Ximian doesn't, compiling does. I thought we were talking about that. It's why I didn't compile but got the Ximian package. It required gimp and a few new files. That was it.

Then why did I get a notice about having to upgade my perl library and if you look at the gimp perl deb source, it does indeed require woody's version of perl and not potato. I don't get it, becaue if that was the case, how come Ximian got it up and running on potato? Jonathan
