In my defense, when GIMP was able to do "text along a path" I was not so worried about being able to load eps files again.
I read the configuration spew and noticed that configure was not finding xmkmf, which is Xorg's (previously X11) special variety of make. I installed xutils-dev (I am on Debian because I was told to and could not find a good reason not to, way back when) and the warning disappeared and the configuration report claims to be using the postscript plug-in now (found in the source at plug-ins/common/file-ps.c Now it is building and I do not know if I will find ps, eps in the files I might open with this new and improved build, but I suspect so. If you are on a Mac, maybe you can forward this to apple(tm) and shame them also. carol _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
