Dude, I know we debian users are weird people, but hey, I know the ximian distro people try hard to get the packages right. A patch instead of a flame helps a lot more. There is Hadess's build of ximian gnome at http://www.hadess.net/idoru.shtml, you could try that as well. > > or is there some other solution like compling GTK > > myself (will i run into other dependancies?) > > install woody. or backport the woody gnome packages to potato (ive > done it, its a pain but it can be done, note its far LESS of a pain > then ruining your system with that ximian crap). But the main point here is that you dont need any GNOME stuff to get Gimp 1.2 running, just gtk. I guess there are such gtk packages in debian as well, at least in testing; brave souls could try install those on a potato system? Dunno if it breaks anything, shouldnt gtk 1.2.x be compatible with gtk 1.2.y anyway? Not that I really know anything but this is how I do things, if they break, I fix them then :) Tuomas -- .---> [EMAIL PROTECTED] . |\,/| [EMAIL PROTECTED] <-----. +----> www.ximian.com - ()-@@ , tigert.gimp.org <----+ `-----> art director , `--')/ a gimp artist <---'
