Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues.....
Someone's said it before, but try: gtk-config --version It should return 1.2.8, but if it doesn't then try: type gtk-config Which should return the directory the gtk-config script appears in. If you compiled it yourself then it usually appears in /usr/local/bin. If you want to know if you've got multiple versions then use: find '/' -name 'gtk-config' The gtk-config script IS NEEDED for gcc to compile the gimp with the gtk library. Just type 'gtk-config' to see the information it returns. --cflags and --lib return information needed by gcc to use the library. Hardly the best description, somebody please explain it better. When compiling programs your host option should be (For ./configure): --host i486-linux-libc5 How do I know that? Look at the 'irrelevent' bit on your 17.28 Fri 11 Aug post. I recommend you check again in /etc/ld.so.conf, since you re-installed. Remember to run 'ldconfig' after each library you compile, or it'll still see the old version. It's maybe time to clarify your sucesses and failures, since we've seen dozens of emails on your problem - and I've lost track of where we are. Jonathan Paton -- __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues.....
Hi Andrew, Whilst in the act of checking whether the packages have updated correctly, try these two: gtkmm-config --version (I have 1.2.0) - GTK C++ extensions glib-config --version(I have 1.2.8) I'm surprised your having so much difficulty, I personally never bother with RPM's instead I use the sources. Like you I have little experience, but usually if you have a good base system it works nicely. Usually its a case of './configure', 'make', 'make install' and then 'ldconfig' (libs only). I know how you feel, I tried the LinuxFromScratch-HOWTO, and failed. My base system isn't new enough to compile all the things I need, so I've tried to update the compiler and so on. It ain't easy, and you soon get lost when things don't work. Rather similar to your situation... I'm listening. Jonathan Paton __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Screenshot problems with 1.1.24

Are you running on a really slow machine? Try increasing the delay time. Not that I think so. It's a Celeron 300 with 96M. Increasing delay doesn't help.
