I solved this one myself. Just get GTK+2.2.4 SOURCES (not the rpm or anything), and compile with these flags. Here's how I did it: 1. remove the old version of gtk (rpm -e --force --nodeps gtk+-2.2.1 for example or whatever will remove just that. Don't remove any other gtk+ packages!!) 2. mkdir /opt/lib/gtk+-2.2.4 3. Compile and install the new gtk+-2.2.4 sources using: # ./configure --eprefix=/opt/lib/gtk+-2.2.4 --prefix=/opt/lib/gtk+-2.2.4 # make # su (type in your root password) # make install 4. Next (still as root), edit /etc/ld.so.conf in a text editor and add the following line: /opt/lib/gtk+-2.2.4/lib 5. Still as root: # /sbin/ldconfig NOTE: If you compile other apps that use GTK+ you might get an error about PKG_CONFIG_PATH not pointing to gtk+-2.0.pc. Do the following to fix that: # locate gtk+-2.0.pc (take note of the path here) # export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=(path noted above w/o the *.pc filename included) I know Gimp wants freetype libraries newer than what RH9 has but I didn't install them because it messes with XWindows on my system - the font path in the config gets blitzed. :( Gimp 1.3.23 and Gimp 2.0pre1 both work ok anyway without further packages added other than compiling/installing GTK+2.2.4. If you do like above, it should work ok. Don't know about tablet though because I don't have an art tablet or anything, just mouse. .:: misfit-x ::. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
