try editing this script to use /opt/gnome instead of /usr/local : http://www.gimp.org/source/howtos/gimpenv then type "source gimpenv" before "perl Makefile.PL" btw, you seem to have a handle on some *nix things that i don't. i still fumble around when trying to use echo. it is one of the problems that happens when you get things working and they work so well for so long. again, thank you for your persistence. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
