You have more than one fontconfig library on your system. The debian one is in /usr/lib, you likely have another one in /usr/X11R6/lib or /usr/local/lib. You can run ldd on the gimp binary to find the path of the library it's using. This message has been improved for 2.0.1 to clarify this situation, because it seems quite some number of naughty people don't keep track of what they installed on their system by hand.. -Yosh _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
