Hi Mike - Can you get the GIMP to run at all? Here's what looks odd to me in your report: 1. gimp-1.2.5 in /usr/src This looks very odd, unless that is the source tree for gimp-1.2.5. If that's the case, then cd to that directory, (/usr/src/gimp-1.2.5) and build and install the binary. You will find the instructions in a file named, oddly enough, INSTALL ;). To summarize the instructions there, you first run ./configure, to build the makefiles according to your system's capabilities; then make, to compile the program, and finally, make install, to actually put the binaries somwhere in your search path. Note that you'll probably need to be root to actually perform the install. 2. If /home/Irish is your home directory, you were on the right track in putting your script somewhere in that tree, but I think you should have put it in /home/Irish/.gimp-1.2/scripts Note the . before gimp. .gimp-1.2 is the root of your personalized gimp, and lets you add plug-ins, scripts, patterns, brushes, etc that you can use without needing root access. Anyway, try these suggestions, restart the GIMP, and you should see your script somewhere in the menus, probably under Image/Script-fu/..... wherever it registered itself. Good luck and good gimping! -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzs Home Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/ Photo Gallery _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
