ON another list someone was complaining about the expense nad bother of
upgrading to the latest Photoshop, including licenses etc. I suggested Gimp
as a no cost/no fuss alternative for students. I received a long reply, much
of which I am not technically competent to answer. I have never used

I downloaded, compiled and installed gimp2.3.13, followed by the obligatiory
copy of xsane to the plug-ins directory. It would be nice if this could be
included in the gimp distribution.
On the subject of plug-ins, I have python on my system but not some GTK
fragment that Gimp wants. So I did
On my Slackware Linux 11 partition I get an error message on ./configure of

There is a workaround but that excludes python plugins. But that could cause
problems in the future. I have downloaded and installed two differ

Assuming that there is a directory /usr/local/gimp-23.13 where should I unpack
the help files so that Gimp can find them? Slackware Linux 11.

I unzipped and untarred the help files. I ran ./configure in that directory.
When I ran "make" I got a slew of messages of the form:
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity
http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd
../src/appendix/bugs.xml:3: warning: failed to load external

1. Does it produce formats like those used on e.g., uTube?
2. What is the best introductory document/tutorial for gap?
3. Do I need to retrofit to Gimp 2.2.x to use gap?

I have a recent download of Gimp 2.3.13 on a Slackware Linux system
using fc-cache for fonts. However Gimp may use something else.
The 3d outline Script Fu appears to want the RoostHeavy font by
default. AFAIK I don't have this font on my system. When I use the
font selector on the 3D screen

There are several python-fu scripts installed but they don't show up
under the xtn menu or anyplace else I can find when running Gimp.
Only the sphere.py script shows up. Gimp 2-3-13 on Slackware 11.
