Hi Akkana, gimp-users, GIMP 2.6.3. It's the last rpm that was available for OpenSuSE 10.3. As to how it was compiled. Um, don't know. Can I view compiled options somewhere in Gimp interface or console command? KDE is my desktop, but I run a lot of GNome apps.
"Cause errors"? By that do you mean the Gimp message box? I do get the GIMP message box, but it doesn't say how it was going to be done, just that it couldn't find it. It says: +++++++++++++++++++++++++ GIMP Message Opening 'http://....gif' failed: Could not open 'http//....gif' for reading: No such file or directory. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ I guess I should find out how Gimp is compiled for OpenSuSE :-) If Gimp knows the app that is failing, it would be helpful to the end user if it was included in the message ;-) Thank you.
