i see it most often myself when i have made a copy of a script and given
the file a new name without changing the name of the plug-in in the
script.

this is a weird error.  it should be able to be fixed by finding the
libgtkhtml package (it is a part of gnome stuff, however, it has been
made available separately -- it has been a while since i installed it)

what is weird about this error is that here, on my computer, one user
gets the error and another one doesn't.

it is not going to hurt running gimp at all, to make sure of this change
to Preferences--Help System--Browser to use--Web Browser.  gimp
should fall back to that gracefully without the preference change,
however.

maybe you could consider to use the gnu build tools?

for some reason, you have a duplicate db_browser.

do your build tools allow a make uninstall and in your efforts to
build gimp, have you given it more than one path.  maybe one of your
builds has installed the common plug-ins into your user directory.

script-fu has a difficult time communicating exactly what its problem

 Web-o-tine works just fine until I hit OK.  At that point, this error

2005-11-18 Thread Joey Cagle
Hey everyone, for Puppy Linux/Grafpup, there are some things you want to  
know.


Puppy Linux does not ask for a log in.  For information on why it does not  
ask for root, check out the FAQ at http://www.puppylinux.org .


GIMP comes with Grafpup on the LiveCD already, so it's not like I'm  
installing GIMP myself.  It's already on the CD and copied into a RAM disk  
at startup.


Maybe I will be helped better once someone can familiarize themselves with  
the way Puppy Linux is working, because it doesn't work the same way as  
the larger distros.  It's not a large download (unless you're on dial-up,  
and even then, I can download it overnight) and it runs straight from CD,  
so familiarizing yourself with either Puppy Linux or Grafpup (available at  
http://www.grafpup.com) should be no problem.

well, your problems are actually due to the way the distribution has
built and installed your gimp.

if you show them the same errors you showed us here, they should
understand the problems.  i don't make distributions and am a simple
linux user and i can understand them

if they would like my help as a professional, i guess that one of the
ways to take these half steps between windows and linux is to offer
professional help and to assure professional help by charging a fee for
the service.

tell them i will be happy to help and they can email me directly with
the terms of the professional help.

this is one of the nice things about using a distribution.  you have
people who can fix the problems or you should have the option to build
it yourself if it does not fill your needs or work as promised.

good luck!

For gtk+-2.6.9-setup.zip, click on the .exe then follow instructions.



For glib 2.6.6.zip, decompress all and check USE FOLDER NAMES.



For gimp-2.2.9-i586-setup.zip, do as with gtk, and follow instructions.



Same thing for gimp-help.zip. 




Open windows explorer and copy every glib folder in Program Files\GIMP 
(or in the folder where you have installed GIMP)




It should word

Otherwise, write me back.

   ordinary mice.
 
  It doesn't make too much sense to scale bitmap brushes, does it?
 
 IMHO it does. Why not?

IMHO, If it was the same as a truetype font and the bitmap brush was
300x300 pixels, maybe; because we'd always scale down and there'd be
no attempt to up-scale and try and make a better brush from a brush
with less data.  [Loss of quality is another issue, meaning that you
can only have so much data there...]  If you have a 8x8 brush and want
to draw something that is 80x80, that is a completely different
matter.

Of course, scaling would make so much sense with SVG/Vector brushes --
but then, GIMP is a raster graphics program.  No-win situation. 
*sigh*

If the code is there, and it is possible to get at it using another
device; it doesn't seem to me for it to be unreasonable to provide
mice-based and/or keyboard-based ways of providing the same
funcationality... but that said, it has to be done within limits or
users will simply get confused and/or complain about weird things.
