One of my friends followed my footprints and moved from Windows to Linux
with its free imaging software like cinepaint and by default - gimp.
His cinepaint v0.20 installation failed due to missing dependencies,
cinepaint required some shared objects like libHalf.so.2 available
within OpenEXR package for linux. Download and install OpenEXR package
prior to cinepaint installation from
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/libHalf.so.2()(64bit)
<http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/libHalf.so.2%28%29%2864bit%29>
you'll get a number of OpenEXR packages for various linux distributions.
OpenEXR package has been silently removed from US mirrors, so you might
need to download it from mirrors in Taiwan (dot TW). Assuming you have
OpenEXR and CINEPAIN packages, issue following commands as root to
install both.
rpm -U OpenEXR--v.package
rpm -U cinepaint-v.package
Once you have cinepaint installed, it's good idea to join their mailing
list to learn from cinepaint gurus all the techniques required to your
image processing. http://www.cinepaint.org/
Good luck,
Roman.
