Re: perlotine
I just checked my source just to make sure -- I haven't had to install the gimp-perl package since 1.1.29 (actually 1.1.24, but I was never able to get it to work). All of the Gimp Perl stuff comes with the package now. When I got the PDL (I was installing in a brand new distribution installation) I got the PDL and that ResDe---nt doey and all of my perl configuration and make errors went away and I had a working perlotine and center guide, etc. I would like to know how to install all of this without the PDL as my space is somewhat limited.

Gimp 1.0.4 wants gtk 1.2.0???
I am trying to get gimp 1.0.4 working from the /home/www partition on my 'puter. I'm a long way away from Net-Fu but this is the approach I am taking. I have tried to cover all of the grittier details with the configure: [root@Treva gimp-1.0.4]# LDFLAGS="-R/home/www" [root@Treva gimp-1.0.4]# ./configure --enable-gimp-dir="~/.gimp-1.0" --prefix=/home/www --mandir=/usr/man --with-gtk-prefix=/home/www The README said that this version of Gimp would not work with gtk1.1.x. I assumed that this would be even more true for gtk1.2.x. So I installed gtk 1.0.6 right next to it in /home/www. My configure error is this: checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for gtk-config... /home/www/bin/gtk-config checking for GTK - version = 1.2.0... *** An old version of GTK+ (1.0.6) was found. *** You need a version of GTK+ newer than 1.2.0. The latest version of *** GTK+ is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org Is it autoconf? Can the old gimp use a new gtk? Where do I go from here? Maybe it would be quicker and easier for one of you smarties to port Net-Fu to Gimp 1.2.x!
Re: How do calendar?
Let me tell you the trouble I had with the gimp and calendars: variable width fonts I suggest that you generate it with something else, I used LaTeX and then get it from that ps file, or whatever. cal makes nice calendars because it is limited to only fixed width fonts. Maybe someone knows how to get the fixed width fonts to the gimp, but Typesetting like that isn't really what the gimp does.

Re: Plug-ins fail ./configure
I have installed Gimp 1.2.1 . I was able to install guash (I think that it installed, actually, I haven't checked yet but it went through "make" and "make install" properly, so I assume it is there. I figured that ace needs 1.1 and I was going to poke around in the make file to see what I could find. The gimp wisely stores itself in 1.0 or 1.1 or 1.2 directories, which should be handy if you need to run a 1.0 for the net-fu stuff and 1.2 for all of the other reasons. I wonder if guash isn't included in the original tarball because of the license? Jeff Trefftzs wrote: Using Gimp-1.2.0. I've been trying to upgrade my plug-ins library with kaleidoscope guash gimp-ace and running into serious problems. Any suggestions?

gimp and glibc
Hmm, I was installing a new operating system into a mounted /tmp file when I lost my environment variable setting ... I think that I installed a new glibc into my eh, real computer. And I really need the space back. I just need to know, which c-library does the gimp need. There are two there, I just need to know before I remove one. Eek! I'm such a luser. I just wanted a brand-spanking new operating system for my brand-spanking new gimp.
Re: red eye removal?
Tom Cooper wrote: The suggestion for 'colormap rotation' was not available, (greyed-out on my installation of 1.126) and the suggestion to use the dodge/burn tool isn't clear enough about how to do this. I looked in the reference manual, and cannot find information about dodge/burn. When a filter is grayed out as an option it means that your file isn't in the right format. Check to see if you have an alpha channel or not (ImageAlphaAdd Alpha if Add Alpha is gray, you have it). Try it with alpha (add alpha) and with out (LayersFlatten Image). Other filters need only one layer or will only work on the bottom layer. As you get to know the filters, you get to know what they want. I know using the Gimp to remove redeye from a photo is like using an 18 wheeler to move a single 2x4 across the street, but I'd like to be able to do it. The last time I took out red eye, I zoomed in to 400% and used the color picker and did it pixil by pixil. It was fine, but not great. My people looked alittle cross eyed, so be careful with the light spot.
Re: GIMP 1.2.0 and Perl
I got this message when installing 1.1.24 and 1.1.29. I think that it means that you will not be able to Script-Fu's to Perls. I haven't missed this function yet. Perhaps you won't either.

Re: Gifs and transparency
I think that you are trying to save an RGBed image as a gif. Gimp will not do that. Work with the image in RGB. When you are ready to save it, use ImageModeIndexed. That will give you some interesting possiblilities. Once the image is indexed, it will save as a gif. If I am not reading your problem right, you will need to send more details about the conditions that made you think that gif format doesn't work on the Gimp. The Gimp doesn't have a problem with gifs. Gifs have problems. I'm trying to make transparent gifs for my page, and it doesn't seem to support gif format at all. RGB mode is also out, and I heard that Gimp is having trouble with gifs or something?

Re: Font Question
xfstt likes the true type fonts to be in /usr/share/fonts/truetype. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 fonts seems to be the best place for the type 1 guys. I had to get xfstt going in root and then restarting my xsession would get the truetype working, as I told it in my .xsession file. After the new xsession was going, a ps -ax would show two xfstt entries. It drove my brother crazy to see it, but it always worked then. Your nose types just fine. Perhaps you should let it take over with the font installation! Thomas Poe wrote: Hello, Group: Enjoy your productive and helpful list, tremendously. I am typing this message with my nose. I have become so twisted about, turned sideways, upside down, and inside out by the URW, type1inst, Xfstt, TrueType, Postscript, XF86Config and everything else, all that's left is a mess.

Re: Widget display problems and a question...
Also, this may sound like another obvious problem, but how do you draw a hollow or fill circle/box? It seems like you need two more buttons like the selection versions, except something that will draw a box. I know how to draw a line, but there is no meta key combination for the pencil tool that will produce a box (besides manually drawing the four sides, which is rather annoying). Select your circle or box using any of the selection options. "EditStroke" will use the current brush along the selections "ants". "EditFill" will fill everything within the selection with the foreground color.
Re: Low Quality Gifs
Do all of the work on your image in the RGB format that the Gimp will start you out with. If you are in a situation where you must save your image often, saving in the Gimps native format "xcf" saves the most information and is the least hassle. The very last step before the "Save" should be the conversion from RGB to indexed. The Gimp makes lovely gifs. What is ie?

2 computers, 3 gimps, no hue-saturation
Running two versions of gimp on one computer is easy. Thanks for the help. I ran gimp 1.0.4 on the old computer for a long time and it ran beautifully. When I upgraded to 1.1.24, I lost control of the hue and saturation through ImageColorsHue-Saturation. I got a different computer, I installed 1.1.25 on it and the hue saturation sliders have no effect on the layer color with this guy either. I wrote a letter to this list and searched the archives for the thread of mail I remembered this trouble being discussed. I wasn't able to locate it in the archives (I did find gtkxmhtml, though. IMO this shouldn't be so difficult to find, in case someone who is not so good with computers wishes to install the gimp. It would be this kind of user who would be most interested in "Help"), so I opted to just start over and to be more careful this time. I ran "make uninstall" on Gimp 1.1.25. I installed 1.0.4 and then changed the binaries in /usr/local/bin/ from gimp and gimptool to gimpl (for gimp `lite') and gimptool to gimpltool. Then I installed Gimp 1.1.25. Both of these installations were successful (I am one who has to disable nls in order to do this). Meanwhile, on the old computer, where I used to run gimp 1.0.4 with working hue saturation control: I removed, by hand, gimp 1.1.24. I reinstalled gimp 1.0.4. Guess what? The hue and saturation is not working. The last time I had it working, was with the gimp 1.0.4 that came with my linux distribution TurboLinux Workstation 3.6. It is one of those distributions that came without a gimptool. I think that my problem is in the libraries? The updated gtk is what is different between the old 1.0.4 and the new one. Is there help?
Hue-Saturatrion Trouble
I was running gimp 1.0.4 (linux 2.0) and everything worked very nicely. I upgraded to gimp 1.1.24 (still on linux 2.0), I had many problems. One of the big problems, for my purposes, was the ImageColorsHue Saturation window. Light and dark "worked", but changes to hue and saturation were not noticed by the gimp, either in preview or for real. I blamed this problem on installing Image Magick and upgrading some of the graphics libraries. Now I am running gimp 1.1.25 (this time I have linux 2.2 and fairly up-to-date libraries (tiff, ungif, jpeg, etc.) and I still am not able to adjust hue or saturation. I remember someone else having this same problem. Was there a resolution?

I seem to remember someone giving instructions on how to have and use two versions of Gimp.
