Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp on Slackware 10/Slackware Current.

I updated glib and Gtk+ and pango and so on from the Slackware current distro but it still wouldn't fly. So next I tried to install Gimp 2.2.0 from Slackware current. This is not the latest, but more recent than what comes with Slack 10 (2.0.2). When I attempt to execute Gimp I get the error message: --- error while loading shared libraries: libXfixes.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I cannot find a file like this in the package inventory for Slack current. So, any Gimp users out there that would like to give me a hint? I can always use Knoppix for my Gimp jobs but Slack is a lot faster :( Hey there, John. libXfixes is part of the Xorg 6.8.1 release. That one is available in slackware-current. Slackware-10.0 currently goes up to xorg 6.7.0. Grab the x11-6.8.1 and x11-devel-6.8.1 packages from slackware-current, and you should be good to go. I'd also advise to use swaret to bring them down, so it can resolve any possible dependencies as well. Good luck.

He has perl installed and PDL installed, but the directories are smegged, which goes to a broken PDL installation. fix that, and all the troubles are gone.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP-1.2.5 Compile Fails

Any ideas what might cause this? I'm on RH9, with a previously installed Gimp-1.2.3. Is it my system (not impossible) or is this a real bug? This looks like a compiler bug as I was able to build gimp-1.2.5 on Slackware 8 with a custom 2.4.20 kernel, gcc-3.3, glibc-2.3.2, and glib/gtk+-1.2.10. Can you possibly upgrade to gcc-3.3 (sources at ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc) and see what happens? Peace... Hate to throw a 'me too' in here, but gimp-1.2.5 compiles cleanly (both patched and full source) on my Slackware 9.0 box, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1, gtk+-1.2.10. From the error that you posted, it sounds like it's a glibc error that you're getting. Check which version of glibc you're using, and let us know.

I am trying to create a new logo using gimp but the fonts it (redhat 7.2) comes with are extremely limiting. Where can I download and install more fonts (decorative ones like windows parisian etc) I suppose limiting is in the eye of the beholder. I am pleased with the selection of fonts that come with Gimp. Maybe they are in the Gimp distro, maybe they came with Slackware. All I know there is a bunch of them. It pays to upgrade from the version of Gimp that came with your system to the latest stable version available. You may find goodies included not found with RH, Slackware etc. Don't feel bound to find an RPM version. the standard utilities gunzip, tar, make etc. work just fine on RH systems. Also, which version of X are you running? if it's newer than 4.0.1, it should include Truetype font support via the freetype font module. Uncomment the line (or add it, if you don't have it), and then specify the path to your windows fonts in the Fontpath section. The module line should look like: Section Module Loadfreetype Give that a go, and see what you get, IF you have Xfree86 4.0.
