OK, I need some help. Out of curiosity I downloaded ALL the needed files. 14 in all, 45Mb's total.
I would appreciated some help in the ORDER in which to install these files, pretty please.... GTK+ libart (tar.tar) Pango gimp-print GtkHTML Library (tar.tar) libjpeg (tar.tar) libpng libtiff AA-lib libexif libmng libRSVG libwmf There was one that I could not find and I know how to scour the web pretty good when I want to: Font Configuration Library So if anyone has the most up to date version of this one, a link please. Most of these files, including gimp-2.0.1.tar.gz are all in tar.gz format except for the 3 files with a 'tar.tar' extention and I'm not at all sure how easy these will be to open up. I know it's going to be REAL fun doing this little project but now I'm commited so please lend a hand!! :-) Richard ;-)~ "Sven Neumann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : Hi, : : Richard McCormick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: : : > I did download the main GIMP 2.01 tar.gz and in the install notes it : > says there are about 7 other files I need to download and install : > the following files: : : [snip] : : > That's just nuts.

Unless you are experienced : with building software from scratch, you shouldn't try to get GIMP's : dependencies built from source.

So perhaps : instead of complaining, consider to use a different distribution. : : : Sven _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
