Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp2.0pre
Well, in the contribs for 9.0 I can see only 1.3.8, but maybe the mirror I am using is not updated: which is your mirror? Well it's 9.2/contrib for me then in your case you probably needs two repository : 9.2/sources to get the stuff from standard Mandrake 9.2 and 9.2/contrib tu get Gimp2. You can't use contribs 9.2 on mdk 9.0... :-(( dependencies would not be fullfilled and urpmi will not help you. Of course, if in the contribs they will provide a packaged version of gimp2, then urpmi would solve all problems (but for optimization, but of course I know that I can't get everything!) Maybe if I wait some weeks (after the release of the final 2.0), I will have some luck. If you install gimp-1.3.21 and gimp-1-3-21-devel from URPM repository the dependancies problem will be probably solved and then you could download and compil the last gimp-2.0 yourself without waiting a RPM in contrib. Even if you still need more recent libs you can get it from the 9.2/sources. On the other hand, this could be practicable: I will try it, as soon as I will have some spare time (at least 9 weeks... :-((( Fabio ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp2.0pre
B Now, I am completely happy with my system: am I forced to upgrade distribution just to be able to use gimp 2.0? This would really upset me. Note that the point is not that I am scared at upgrading the system: my first distro was RH 4.x and since I used at least one of any major release. The point is simply that for some month I will have no spare time for doing this... :-((( Did you try URPM ? in Contrib repository (not updated) I can see gimp 1.3.21, gimp-pyton 1.3.21, gimp2-freetype, gimp2-gap_20030730. I did'nt try myself because I prefer the compilation for Gimp2 but it's what Mandrake gives to their users. Well, in the contribs for 9.0 I can see only 1.3.8, but maybe the mirror I am using is not updated: which is your mirror? Of course, if in the contribs they will provide a packaged version of gimp2, then urpmi would solve all problems (but for optimization, but of course I know that I can't get everything!) Maybe if I wait some weeks (after the release of the final 2.0), I will have some luck. About the other point which is in discussion (introduction of a warning for updates), if my opinion can interest anybody I would say that I am against it. This for the simple reason that most of the time I use gimp at home, where I have simply a modem connection, which, of course, is most of the time of. But even at work I don't like autoupdates. In case you will install such a check, I wish that there will be a startup screen which will let the user to disabilitate it.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp2.0pre
These are two different libraries with incompatible APIs. Actually gtkhtml2 is a rewrite while gtkhtml3 is a newer version gtkhtml1. You will need gtkhtml2 for the GIMP help browser plug-in. Wouldn't the libgtkhtml2_0-2.4.0-1mdk libgtkhtml2_0-devel-2.4.0-1mdk suffice? Isn't that what I said? I am sorry I don't know about the package names of Mandrake or RedHat or whatever distribution. I can only tell you what software you need. The translation to package names is up to you. It makes some time that I have a question and I couldn't find an answer anywhere. Forgive me if it seems stupid/faq/naif or whatelse. It seems that compiling a brand new gimp is no simple matter at all: following all dependencies is really a hard matter! Would it be possible to provide, together with the sources, also a static rpm (or tar.gz, if you prefer), which could install everywhere? I guess that it would be quite big, but maybe one can add a warning This is a static version: it is BAD. Use it only if you can't manage otherwise! But, for example, take my case: I have a mandrake 9.0. On it, I succeeded to compile gimp 1.2.5. I also tried to compile 1.3.x, but dependencies errors where so many that to correct them I needed to deeply change my system: it would have been faster to upgrade the distribution. I did nothing. I guess the same will be with gimp 2.0. Now, I am completely happy with my system: am I forced to upgrade distribution just to be able to use gimp 2.0? This would really upset me. Note that the point is not that I am scared at upgrading the system: my first distro was RH 4.x and since I used at least one of any major release. The point is simply that for some month I will have no spare time for doing this... :-((( Finally, let me just point out that what I am proposing is just what is being done for mozilla: I couldn't compile 1.5 it neither, yet they provide a binary version which installed painless on my system and works smoothly.

[Gimp-user] Problem with paintbrush and convolver
Hi all, I am experiencing a problem when I use one of these tools, but it is a strange problem and I find some difficulties in explaining it. Nevertheless, let me try If I select the paintbrush and I draw a random curve on my picture, every now and then some of the pixels of the curve are displaced either horizontally or vertically. The effect is more visible with a not so small brush (either soft or hard) and when the image is zoomed at least at 1:1 By itself this is quite annoying but it is not all: the effect is, in fact, an illusion. The line, in reality, is well drawn and I can realize this by the fact that if I zoom in and then out the effect disappears!!! Did anybody experienced the same thing? What is the cause? How can I correct this? Thank you for your help Fabio PS: I also have a problem in compiling gimp 1.2.5 under mandrake 9.0: all needed devels packages are installed, ./configure says everything is ok and compilations starts ok and goes on for 10-15 minutes, then I get an error. But, for this, maybe it is better if I include in another post the last few lines of compilation output... ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
