What distro are you using? If you're using one of the redhat-based distros, the yum tool may be able to help you with the dependencies. IIRC, cinepaint is in at least one of the third-party software repositories for Fedora Core. Once you get it set up, you can run "yum install cinepaint" and it'll sort out the dependencies for you.
You could switch distros, I suppose, but that's a heck of a lot of work for a single program. I never was a big fan of gentoo, with the "upgrade half of your box to get this single package" methodology. Debian might be another choice, and the install of cinepaint using apt-get would most likely be similar. -Mat On 3/7/06, Roman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
