[Gimp-user] gimp and ubuntu compatible tablet

2009-01-31 Thread Alessia
Hallo everyone,
I've a problem that I think many of you already had. I've decided to buy 
a tablet to draw easily and in a more efficient way.
I have two problem to solve before buying :

I need, obviously a GIMP compliant tablet
I use a Linux based OS ( Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex)
Another problem is that I'm searching for a tablet not expansive.

I heard of the Wacon tablets but I'm wondering if  anyone had used  
other tablets .
Could you help me, also point me to an updated list of compatible tablets?

Thank you in advance

Alessia

[Gimp-user] quest about installing multiple versions of GIMP

2008-01-31 Thread alessia
Hi all,
I' ve a questo since a long time regarding the possibilty to install and 
run multiple, and by the way different, versions of Gimp on the same 
computer.
I know that it's possible for some software (for example OpenOffice) but 
I dont' know about GImp. i'm not an intensive user and so I usually 
install the new version of Gimp that came with the new version of my 
distribution( and I change distro version one time a year o more 
frequently).
My quest is
Is it strictly binding to unistall the previous version before install 
the newer one?
Thank a lot
Alessia

Thank you to all who so gentle answer me.

I sometimes build from source the software I want to install so I have a 
little prectice with this kind of things.

For some reason It isn't always easy ( expecially where there are many 
dependacies to solve).

But I think the using --prefix=/otherdirectory in the configure step I 
can safely install two version of gimp.
I'd like to have two main version ( not the alpha or intermediate, at 
least till I 'll be able to help with the debug or so).
Thank you
Alessia
