I'm confused what do you mean by item #1? As for #2 & #3, I have a very stable system. That is part of the reason, I want to install the gimp in $HOME/usr not /usr or /usr/local. It doesn't seem know anything about tiffs. I've also tried the libtiff at ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/libs/ I had to recompile gtk+ and set CFLAGS='-I/home/strycat/usr/include' to get that to compile. However gimp does not give any errors but it just seems to ignore libtiff. Is there some option I can force it to look for libtiff?
