Here's part of what the README file says: -- PDL -- the package -- The perlDL project aims to turn perl into an efficient numerical language for scientific computing. The PDL module gives standard perl the ability to COMPACTLY store and SPEEDILY manipulate the large N-dimensional data sets which are the bread and butter of scientific computing. e.g. $a=$b+$c can add two 2048x2048 images in only a fraction of a second. The aim is to provide tons of useful functionality for scientific and numeric analysis. Check the pdl web site at http://pdl.perl.org for more information. Thats about all I know about it. Gtk-Perl complained when it was missing. Its need by perl programs that do pixel manipulation. Some version of it may have been installed with my slackware distribution (7.0), but I totally deleted my original perl installation and installed perl 5.6.0. So, I've had to install many perl modules that other people may already have.

I'm NOT having the problem with the coordinates turning into a mess of black. Installing gimp was a pain though. I had to install/reinstall a whole mess of libraries. Maybe by installing newer versions of libraries, I avoided the problem with the coordinates. Here are my notes on what I did to install gimp: Required packages: gimp-1.1.20.tar.gz GIMP. Available at www.freshmeat.net gtk+-1.2.7.tar.gz The Gimp Tool Kit. A library for creating graphical user interfaces. Requires glib-1.2.7.tar.gz Available at www.gtk.org glib-1.2.7.tar.gz A support library of C routines for lists, hashes, memory allocation and other things. Available in the same place as gtk. Perl Extension: Gtk-Perl-0.6123.tar.gz The Perl interface to Gtk. The Gimp perl extension requires this. Available at www.gtk.org. Requires PDL. Install gtk first. PDL 1.9906 or higher (2.005 ok) Perl Data Language. Needed for perl scripts that do pixel manipulation. Available at www.CPAN.org At CPAN, you will have to download whatever else it requires: ExtUtils::F77 File::Spec imlib 1.9.7 The Image files libraries. If they are not installed, go get them. Search lycos for "imlib" www.labs.redhat.com/imlib/ This is needed for lots of things. It will also generate libgdk_imlib* 1. Ensure that all traces of libgimp, libgtk and libglib are removed from /usr/lib and /usr/include AND /usr/bin (gtk-config). Remove old man pages from /usr/man: man1, rm gtk* gdk* This isn't too important if you install everything --prefix=/usr this way, it will add to/replace old stuff. (OK) 2. Install glib cd glib-1.2.7 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Check for /usr/bin/glib-config ldconfig (OK) 3. Install PDL. Install whatever PDL depends on first: ExtUtils::F77 and File::Spec (available at www.cpan.org) perl Makefile.PL make make test make install (OK) cd PDL-2.005 perl Makefile.PL make Note: it will look for OpenGL/Mesa3D/GLu etc libraries. Make sure they are either not installed or installed correctly. If it finds /usr/include/GL it will think its installed. If OpenGL is not installed right, then edit the config file and disable opengl. make test make install (OK) 4. Install gtk/gdk cd gtk+-1.2.7 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Check for /usr/bin/gtk-config (OK) 5. Install Imlib 1.9.7 creates: /usr/lib/libimlib* /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib* /usr/bin/imlib-config /usr/share/aclocal/imlib* /usr/include/.. cd imlib-1.9.7 ./configure --prefix=/usr Note: If it fails to find gdk and you just install it, then you might need to run ldconfig rm config.cache make make install (OK) 6. Install the Gtk-Perl interface. perl Makefile.PL make make test make install (OK) 7. Install gimp. cd gimp-1.1.20 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gimp Note: GtkXMHTML may not be found. You have to download the gnome-libs-1.x.x.

Re: How to see the x,y coordinates instead of just the rulers?
I always get the cvs version, unless there's a new developers release the day I decide to upgrade gimp. I've never had a problem with getting the cvs versions to compile (well, except when they're broken, which doesn't happen often). To do this, I just run "./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr" and it all works out. Of course, that's in RedHat 6.1, so depending on your flavor of OS, it may be different. Though speaking of the x & y coordinates, I've always had the same problem with them: namely, the coords appear, but don't clear the old coords upon mouse movement. They end up being a big mess of black. They still do this in the newest cvs of the 1.2 prerelease. == Jonathan Erbe aka Erunantion The Annals of Middle-earth <"http://rush.baked.net/~jerbel/"> E-mail me at <"mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> == On Mon, 24 Apr 2000, Oliver Bienert wrote: > Robert, > > IMHO you do not need to cvs the gimp.

Here the link: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.1/v1.1.20/gimp-data-extras-1.1.20.tar.gz If you didn't use 1.1.* versions before, probably you also will need in additional libraries from this site.

Re: How to see the x,y coordinates instead of just the rulers?
Robert, IMHO you do not need to cvs the gimp. Just get the latest release (1.1.19 or 1.1.20, I think) and do ./configure, make, make install. In my 1.1.18, I have the x,y coordinates in the lower left corner of the window containing my image.

Re: How to see the x,y coordinates instead of just the rulers?
I used cvs to checkout a copy of the developer version of gimp because I want to try some new features. No configure script was included. I installed autoconf and automake from gnu.org and tried a few things, but no luck. automake will complain about variables not defined and directories missing. What are the commands to compile it? I'd like to find a compilable version that has the new feature that shows the x,y coordinates. On Mon, 24 Apr 2000, Ben FrantzDale wrote: > - Original Message - > From: Robert B.
