I haven't loaded it yet but gimp1.2-nonfree has it built in ... It also has a message ! ..... Description: GIF support for the GNU Image Manipulation Program This package includes GIF support for The GNU Image Manipulation Program. These files are not freely available; their use is disallowed by the UNISYS patent on LZW compression. . Use at your own legal risk. Enhances: gimp1.2 mmm kind of looks like its illegal to use, wouldn't be bothered but was intending to use it for commercial work ..... Any idea when the patent runs out !
