When I startup gimp I get a lot (hundreds) of messages that look like: =================================================================== Gimp-WARNING **: Failed to open palette file /home/glen/.gimp-1.2/palettes/Borde rs: can't happen? and gimp: pipe() failed: Unable to start Plug-In "webify" (/usr/local/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/webif and Gimp-WARNING **: module load error: /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.2/modules/libcolorsel_ gtk.so: ld.so.1: gimp: fatal: /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.2/modules/libcolorsel_gtk.so : open failed: No such file or directory =================================================================== Gimp compiled and installed cleanly, so I think it must be a runtime problem. I have looked in the docs to see if there are any unknown (by me) requirements, but I don't see anything that looks promising. I have checked the obvious, the files do exist and the file/directory permissions seem right, /usr/local/lib is in the Load Library path, and /usr/lib is not. That pretty much covers the usual suspects. Any suggestions? Glen Jackson
