David, Well, there were no .gimp directories to be found, only gimp directories (/usr/lib/gimp, /usr/doc/gimp). I deleted the .gimprc files as mattyt and as root and got this error both ways:
gimp fatal error: ".gimprc" file not found ...so i copied the included dot.gimprc file to my home directory (i gunzipped it first :) ) and got the old error: gimp fatal error: Unable to open included resource file. ??? p.s. again, i never saw any .gimp dirs, only gimp dirs thanks, matty > Well, I installed lesstif and it still didn't work.
