If there is nothing else in /opt then you can do an rm -rf /opt/* If there is someelse there the have a look in bin/ etc/ include/ lib/ man/ share/ and just rm -rf anything prefixed gimp-2.2 There will/should also be files called gimp-2.0.pc gimpui-2.0.pc and gimpthumb-2.0.pc You better find out where these are as if you had two Gimps installed you might be in big trouble as where your gimp-2.2.6 was looking for things. Does your other Gimp work OK? Have a look there and see if you can psyche out the gimp-2.0.pc matter and search paths. Look back in these archives I think for where you should set the LD_LIBRARY PATH What I think might be happening is that your are using the /opt/bin/gimp binary but loading the libraries from your other installation Owen _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
