Re: Newbie question.
Hi William, One thing that might help (if you haven't done this already) is move "Grokking the GIMP" to your windoze partition (or untar it there...). I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that your DOS C: drive is automatically mounted if you are a Mandrake 7 user. You should be able to find it at /mnt/DOS_HDA1 (I think). Doing that will enable you to browse "Grokking the GIMP" when you are in Windows as well as when you are in Linux. Apart from anything else, that will enable you to make more concrete references to the book when you are "doing mail". The Paths tab in the Layers and Channels dialog is a more recent addition (again, fellow GIMPers, correct me if I'm wrong). So, if you are running an older version you may not see it. BTW, in case you didn't know, there is also a Windows port of Linux at http://www.gimp.org/win32, in case you are interested. It is the approximate equivalent of the latest developers version of the GIMP. Enjoy it, and good luck ! regards, Andrew - Original Message - From: "William D.

Downloaded "Grokking the Gimp", which seems worthwhile, and right away saw two screenshots I've not seen before and don't know how to get at. I'm running Mandrake 7.1, which installed Gimp 1.0.4, and the Gimp site identifies this as the latest stable release; except for development releases, I'm up to date here. The first screenshot is of the Tool Box, with 27 functions and two panels. There is an item called Toolbox at the bottom of the Images(?) menu (didn't write all this down and am now in windoze doing mail). I click on it and get nothing. Is this what the author has invoked? The sense I get from what he says there is that this is what comes up when he starts The Gimp. How do I get this to work, or do I have to go get it from a newer release? Or do I have a glitch that needs fixing? In the Layers window, there is a tab for Paths that mine does not have. How do I get at this? I haven't seen any more differences yet, as I stopped there to see if I could find out what is going on here.

Re: Same problem as A.J. Fortune

The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues.....
Hi Fellow Gimpers...
My goal is to be able to install GIMP v1.1.24 with the perl plug-ins. I have
still not been able to do so after 3 to 4 weeks.
Just to recap, I have been trying two things
(1) I compiled the source, downloaded from the GIMP's FTP site. Here is a
run-down of the error I am getting when running ./configure (after
successfully untarring the package) :
[root@localhost gimp-1.1.24]# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... missing
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you
must specify one
I have make, automake and autoconf installed. As well as this, I have perl
5.005, gtk 1.2.8 and glib 1.2.8 installed (I did an rpm -Uvh --force to
upgrade these, so that may have adversely affected the results).
To help resolve this, I was advised to run uname -a, and here are the
results :
[root@localhost gimp-1.1.24]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.2.14-15mdkfb #1 Tue Jan 4 21:59:43 CET 2000
i586 unknown
(2) I located an RPM for v1.1.24 with perl included. When I had installed it
and ran GIMP, nothing happenednot even an error message not
helpful...
So, can anyone advise me further on this ?
thanks,
Andrew
Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues.....
Thanks, James. This got me a bit further. I am also getting an apparently non-fatal message "makeinfo... missing" during the configure, but it keeps chugging along.

Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues.....
Thanks, James -- and Alan -- for your persistent help with this problem. James - in answer to your question (do you never compile things ?), I am a very inexperienced compiler - at least in the Linux world. Believe it or not, I have made some progress - although it is still falling over during the ./configure stage. I have done the following : - Re-installed Mandrake Linux from scratch, and chose the 'Developer' option (I thought that I had done this before, but obviously it didn't recognize my compiler). - Executed "rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps gtk+-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm" to upgrade GTK+ from the 1.2.6 version that was installed. - Did likewise for glib. - Executed "rpm -q" for both of these packages to ensure that the latest version (i.e. 1.2.8) was indeed installed. It was. - Ensured the version of Perl was up-to-date (v5.00503 I think). - Copied gimp-1.1.24.tar.gz across to a sub-directory of /root. - Successfully untarred, i.e. "tar zxvf gimp-1.1.24.tar.gz". - Ran "./configure --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu". It successfully got past my previous error. It went much further thru' the configure, but fell over, as follows : checking for gtk-config... /usr/bin/gtk-config checking for GTK - version = 1.2.8... *** An old version of GTK+ (1.2.6) was found. *** You need a version of GTK+ newer than 1.2.8. The latest version of *** GTK+ is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org. *** *** If you have already installed a sufficiently new version, this error *** probably means that the wrong copy of the gtk-config shell script is *** being found. The easiest way to fix this is to remove the old version *** of GTK+, but you can also set the GTK_CONFIG environment to point to the *** correct copy of gtk-config. (In this case, you will have to *** modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf *** so that the correct libraries are found at run-time)) configure: error: Test for GTK failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help. [root@localhost gimp-1.1.24]# Seeing as I had installed GTK+-1.2.8 and glib 1.2.8, apparently successfully (see above) - I don't understand why it still says that 1.2.6 is still installed ?? It must be that some artifacts have been left behind in one of the config files ? I looked at the gtk-config file, but was confronted with a very daunting script. I also enquired on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, by keying in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the prompt. It returned nothing. Finally, I had a look at /etc/ld.so.conf, and the contents are as follows, but seem irrelevant to this problem : /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib /usr/lib Thanks in advance regards, Andrew - Original Message - From: James Smaby [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2000 12:52 AM Subject: Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues. Boy, you're sure having a tough time. It seems your compiler is configured wrong (do you never compile things?). I've had similar problems on my SGI (I've actually given up on it). I suggest reinstalling the compiler if it doesn't work for other source as well (if it normall works, I don't know). Make sure that the compiler is for your architecture; i686 will not work on a normal pentium or K6II. Given that uname gives out i586, this could be your problem. Perhaps somebody else will have a better idea.
Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues.....
Thanks again, James. I did this, but it got in a big knot. Probably something to do with the fact that I had already attempted to install GTK v1.2.8 So I rebuilt the developers' version of Mandrake Linux (yet again!!). One of the first things that I did after that was to remove GTK using the command 'rpm -ev --nodeps gtk+'. I did likewise with glib. This was to, in theory at least, remove the old mdk version as you suggested. Then I installed the 1.8 versions of GTK and glib (e.g. for GTK, I said 'rpm - ivh gtk+-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm'). I then went thru' the hoops of untarring and then attempting to configure as before, but this error message still came up. (I was in a sub-directory of /root when I did all of this) Do you know what I can do from here ? (please don't say 'give up' :)). regards, Andrew P.S. what is this 'gtk_config' file for anyway ? - Original Message - From: James Smaby [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2000 10:34 AM Subject: Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues. Well, you're original gtk was the mdk version, right? If this is the case, then your `upgrade' using the redhat binary didnt uninstall the mandrake version first. I suggest doing this by hand, then installing the redhat rpm. I thought both of these distributions put gtk in /usr, but you may want to see if your newer gtk-config script is in '/usr/local/bin' If this is the case, then you can probably just delete the old file, and hope things get found okay (that's how my system is set up, with an old version in /usr/lib, but I don't like it that way).

I couldn't find your instructions. In any event, I re-tried compiling
from
a sub-directory under my root directory, and got the following error
during
./configure :

I scoured the newsgroups for a solution to this error. The general
concensus was that you need to have automake, autoconf and make
installed.
The problem in my case is that I already have these packages installed,
but
this message still comes up.

What you have suggested makes a selection of the boundary itself, but I want to be able to select the area inside the boundary. Consider the GFig function again. You draw a shape in GFig, with the settings on the Paint tab set to "Draw on New" and "Using selection". Then when you click the Paint button, it draws a selection in the shape that you drew in GFig. It is this functionality that I want, but I don't necessarily want to use GFig. In other words, you use the pencil tool to draw a closed path and then you obtain a selection using that path.

Hi all, I'd like to have a go at creating some cute cartoons using the GIMP. I am wondering if anyone else on this list has tackled this before, and could you give me any leads on what the best GIMP tools would be to achieve this ? There are so many good tools in the GIMP, that its confusing !!! Thanks in advance, regards, Andrew J Fortune, Melbourne, Australia
The Bucket Fill Tool in GIMP for Windows
Hi, I am a Windows user, and have been using the Windows version of the GIMP quite extensively. I have noticed that the Tool Options menu for the Bucket Fill tool does not have an Opacity slider or a Mode selector (these are available in the Linux version). Could anyone suggest a workaround for this ? For example, if I wished to bucket fill a selection using Multiply mode (say), how could I do it ? Thanks in advance. regards, Andrew J Fortune, Melbourne, Australia
FW: The Bucket Fill Tool in GIMP for Windows
Hi all, Thanks to those who responded. The solution was to switch off the global paint options in Preferences. Probably works the same in Linux. regards, Andrew -Original Message- From: Andrew J Fortune [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 4 July 2000 8:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The "Bucket Fill" Tool in GIMP for Windows Hi, I am a Windows user, and have been using the Windows version of the GIMP quite extensively.
