I have been watching this list since early March this year and have to
admit am getting more confused by the day.
I have been using The Gimp to edit my digital photo's (version 1.2.3 which I am very impressed with, very logical to use)
and have been watching the list talking about Gimp 2. and would like to try it.
I am afraid I have no hope of ever compiling it, so have downloaded a series of rpm's from Xach. I have a couple of questions.
1. Am using Mandrake 9.1, and will use rpmdrake, will these Rpm's be suitable for it?
2. If they are suitable, is there any particular order I should install them in?
3. Do I need to install the Rpm's marked as devel. e.g. atk-devel-1.6.0-1.i386.rpm ?
4. Do I need to remove any files relating to the version I am now using?
I have read on this list that the 2 versions will co-exist.
Thanks for your patience, we beginners must be a trial to you all, am afraid my brain is getting too old to learn too many new tricks, but am still trying.
Take Care
