Maybe your umask is set to make the files readable by root only?
I had no problems installing/running on Solaris 2.6 & 8...

Directory permissions incorrect on installation of Gimp 1.2
Hi, I installed Gimp 1.2 on my Sun SPARCstation 20. It built fine, but after a 'make install' many of the directories were read only to root. Hence as soon as a user tried to run it, the programme complained about a missing /usr/local/share/gimp/1.2/user_install Once that was sorted out, so it became apparent other directories had the same problem, so none of the plugins would load. Again this did not take long to sort out, but I assume this is not intentional ?? - Dr. David Kirkby [EMAIL PROTECTED] (formally [EMAIL PROTECTED]) web page: http://www.david-kirkby.co.uk Amateur radio callsign: G8WRB
