I'm building GIMP 2.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 and it's really no big deal. You don't need the whole gtk+ chain -- the ones installed on 8.04 are fine. You do need babl and gegl and there are a couple minor gotchas there. I have the complete list of packages you'll need here: http://shallowsky.com/linux/gimpbuild.html ...Akkana _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
