Redhat updated gimp to 2.2 shortly after the release of fedora 3. Your best chance to get this working is to run yum update gimp* This will download and install gimp 2.2.4 and any other software needed. (I _strongly_ suggest to also do a yum update gtk2*) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

OK, go to your gimp-2.2.6 directory type ./configure --help and have a read, even it it means little You will see how to install in another prefix, example ./configure --prefix=/opt will configure so that it is built in /opt When you press 'Enter' the program will start configuring. If you are missing any dependencies, it will stop with an error message. Read the error message and see if you can determine what is missing or out of date. You may have newer rpms (or whatever fedora uses) that you can use to upgrade. After you have all the dependencies, configure will run to the end. Then you typemake When make is done, type su -c 'make install' and that will install the program in /opt The executable will be /opt/bin/gimp (which will be symlinked to /opt/bin/gimp-2.2) If it doesn't work, you wont harm anything, so you have little to lose HTH Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Tiff compression options
jpeg compression is lossy by definition. There is no such thing as lossless jpeg compression. Personally, I only LZW (which is lossless) for tiff. I cannot think of any reason why you would ever want to use jpeg compression for a tiff over a straight jpeg format. I've had zero experience experience with the Pack Bits and Deflate options. On a side note, at work we have high spec color laser jet printer that happens to have scanning capabilities as well. For some reason, the tiffs it creates are tiff w/jpeg compression with NO option to change it to other any other compression type or even muck with the jpeg compression setting. I noticed that the Gimp doesn't give any option either for the jpeg compression setting when saving as a tiff.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.2.6 on Fedora Core 3
Hi all I have managed to get Fedora Core 3 installed on my computer through nightly downloads in around 26 days. But the Gimp version is 2.04. I can't find binaries on RedHat's website (Even if I found and downloaded a 2.2.6 binary, would I still be able to run it?). As a last resort, I downloaded gimp2.2.6 sources but after reading a very long list of source packages in the INSTALL doc that 2.26 depends on, I have gave up. It's because I read that you have to have a different prefix if you want to install it parallel to your existing gimp installation. What is meant by Prefix? Further, even if I download all the files, that the gimp depends on, can I build them on my Fedora Core 3 parallel to the equivalent older versions already installed? It would be great if I could get 2.2.6 running with minimum hassle. I receive gimp-user list messages in an email-digest form so my replies won't be that frequent.Thanks in advanceAsif
[Gimp-user] Tiff compression options
Reading Tiff specs for Scribus Team, we saw that Tiif could have JPEG compression. We add a simple question : is gimp implementation of Tiff jpeg compression lossless ? And in which case use one or another compression options ? regards. Cedric ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
