Then I suppose that you better remove "(this must be compiled with the >> GTK+ 2 backend for the Gimp to use it as its help browser)" from the GIMP instructions and just leave readers guessing when they have problems -- when it doesn't work. That is the purpose of a tutorial, isn't it. Seriously, you can insist on being super right about everything and not even consider the suggestions and thoughts of other people. But, you may find that you have the job all to yourself. -- James Tyrer Linux (mostly) From Scratch -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
