Meanwhile I've solved the problem as described in an earlier posting, even without a wrapper. However, I will remember this option when I run in trouble again ...

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp-app on the mac does not want to work with my X11
Are you *sure* you're running X11? IIRC, It was on the developer tools CD in Jaguar. It's also a free download from the Apple Dev site. On my machine, it's under Applications>Utilities>X11, and has to be running before I launch any X apps.

The user even wouldn't notice. This discussion is pretty much pointless to have. The development releases are there to test the upcoming stable 2.4 release. We are not going to introduce the possibility that problems with our build system are show up when such a wrapper script is removed for the final 2.4.0 release. Why don't you just pass --enable-binreloc to configure and simply call the resulting binary directly? It will then figure out where to find the libraries and data files relative to the location of the binary.

[Gimp-user] gimp-app on the mac does not want to work with my X11
I don't see a mailing list for gimp on the mac, so I hope that this post is okay. I just downloaded the gimp-app package for the mac by Aaron Voisine. When I start the Gimp, I get a dialogue box for XDarwin asking me if I want full screen or rootless. When I respond (doesn't matter which), I get a gimp error message that says Missing X11 Gimp.app requires X11 from the "Optional Installs Package on the OXS-X install disk. Can't figure this one out, since X11 clearly seems to be there and running! ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Gimp renders the document at a given scale, and does not re-render it at any time -- it's not a vector-based viewer but an pixel-based image editor. GIMPs failure to display the image smoothly is because it takes a shortcut when zooming out of an image, it just uses one of the values from one of the image pixels occupying a single display pixel instead of averaging all that are contributing. This has been done for speed/ease of implementation, at some point in the future this will change. /Øyvind K. -- «The future is already here.

[Gimp-user] Re: Problems with Gimp on OSX Intel-based
The following solution was sent to me personally: Hey... I would have posted to the list but I'm not a member. I had the EXACT same problem you are experiencing with Gimp. Try getting rid of .fonts.cache-1 in your home directory and restart Gimp -- fixed my problem! On Thu, 19 Oct 2006 00:14:18 +, Curtis Vaughan wrote: > I was noticing problems with color on my system.

I compiled from one master partition (Slack 11) and run in an older one. /usr/local is the same in each (same partition linked into the tree.) Gimp 2.3.12 now runs just fine. Why I don't know. It won't run using the master partition in which it was compiled. I did have to upgrade glib. In answer to your questions here are the results: echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (nothing) file /usr/local/gimp-2.3/bin/gimp-2.3 /usr/local/gimp-2.3/bin/gimp-2.3: cannot open `/usr/local/gimp-2.3/bin/gimp-2.3' (No such file or directory) No wrappers installed. Go figure. Hey, I have a working Gimp of recent vintage. I am not touching a thing. And I won't upgrade to Slack 11.x until it has Gimp 2.4.x included. Don't mess with success. My executable is /usr/local/bin/gimp-2.3. It yields two errors on startup: - /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/poppler: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler-glib.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (gimp-2.3:2838): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp-2.3: wire_read(): error but it seems to run OK. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
