Please explain why you concluded that there is no GIF support. I've been running the gimp since back in the 0.99 days, and I never had any trouble importing or saving as GIF files. Did you make sure the image you were trying to save had been converted to indexed mode first? That's usually the problem if, for example, the .gif extension is grayed out. I'm currently running gimp-1.2.3 compiled from sources on a RH 7.1 system, and I don't remember ever having to do anything particular to get/keep GIF support. -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzs Home Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/home.html Photo galleries _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
