No, they are not good. The problem is that your version of the XPM library doesn't allow absolute path names to be used which breaks the gimp XPM plug-in. The fact that other tools work doesn't prove that your verson of libxpm is 'good'.

F-prot is on crack and the F-prot people have been told about this a long time ago. The fact that they didn't fix that yet doesn't shed a good light on them.

[Gimp-user] New to list! Cannot write XPM
Hello! I am a Debian woody user and use the .deb package of GIMP, which is 1.2.3 at this time. I just had to re-install and found my freshly installed GIMP cannot write XPM, but only read. I have the full XPM libraries installed, including the -dev headers. Until this is fixed, I am using XnView 1.68 to convert to XPM from saved PNG and it has no problem accessing the XPM libraries, My IceWM+dfm also has no problem accessing the libraries, so they must be good. It was suggested I write to this list first, before contacting the Debian package maintainer. Sorry if this was asked before, I tried to do a mail list search, but the database was down :-( On a side-note, before my system went down, I did compile and install GIMP-1.2.5 from source and it too couldn't write XPM. F-prot also found [EMAIL PROTECTED] trojan in the Win32 libs of the 1.2.5 source. Thanks for any help! -- Gregg "t3h g33k" http://geek.scorpiorising.ca ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
