If ./configure said it's ok, then it's ok. Don't be afraid. Enjoy your new gimp :) > I have not yet tried the "yum update" method recommended by Steve as > running configure with a different "prefix" did work. You should at least run yum update gtk2* to avoid severe speed problems when opening an image. yum will download the relevant binary rpms from redhat with all their dependencies and install them. yum update gimp-* will install the latest redhat update for gimp (2.2.4, but I guess soon there will be a 2.2.6 there...). With yum you can keep your system updated and I advise you to do so. > Is it safe to carry out a "yum update" exercise from root?

It will work only if you are root. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
