Hi Guillermo,
Thanks for your lead. I have located a Helix RPM of Gimp-1-1-24 and
successfully installed it. Do you happen to know if I also need to install
(whether by RPM or make) the associated gimp-data file, or is it already a
part of Gimp-1-1-24 ?
thanks,
Andrew

Yes, if you know how to compile after getting the files.

Get the bz2 better (smaller, but same contents), the basic is 1.1.24. If you
have 1.1.23, you can get the patch file instead. If you do not have lots of
brushes, textures and similar things, get the extra too.

Oh oh. For the bz2 you have to use bunzip2, then tar (or single command tar
with special params, read the man page... btw it also works with gz, add
-z). The process is explained in a file that comes, readme or install, I can
not remember exactly. Normally ./configure --things-I-want, make, make
install. You can give it a try, but as I newbie I dunno if you will like it.

Of course, Helix GNOME provides RPM of it, even 1.1.24 as some pointed out.
