Re: [Gimp-user] 2.4 ( DEBs/RPMs)

 Most Linux distros (Ubuntu is an exception) come with the necessary software 
 tools to download a source tarball,  configure, compile and install it. That 
 is what I did.
 
 Slackware means you never have to wait for a deb or an rpm :).  But users of 
 most other distros can do the same if they are in a hurry for Gimp 2.4rc3. 

I have just looked at the Ubuntu 7.10 'try it first disc' and Gimp
2.4rc3 was on it.

I've finally got that installed on Feisty. I started too soon, as
Richard Hirner (thanks!) sent me a link for a native Feisty
package after I'd got all of the strings loose. It's taken 49
package updates  the Feisty kinda thinks it's Gutsy at the
moment.

Good-night from GMT+11 (GMT+10+DST), I'll let you know
soonish how it actually runs.

Cheers; Leon

Correction, 79 packages including a couple of _games_ I had
to update to track changes in font-names used in a GIMP
dependency.

This RAM-limited Celeron 566 makes it run kind of slowly, but
it does run reliably  some of the newer tools are enjoyable.

A friend from the other side of Oz will be mailing me a set
of Gutsy CDs  a DVD, so I'll use those to update all of the
way when they arrive. Wouldn't surprise me to see Ubuntu put
real 2.4 up as an update to replace ~rc3 shortly.
