i have not configured my mailer very much, therefore, i try to answer emails that were sent to the list back to the list and emails that i know came from an individual to the individual. the emphasis should be on the "try". i can see from the headers if the email was also sent to the list or not, whether i actually look at those is another emotionally charged question. right now, you are making a mistake i often make -- although, i think you make it on purpose. we had quite an exchange via email and most of that i think i sent directly to you and not to the list. i relaxed and typed as if i were typing to a thinking adult since there were words in the emails that did not fit on a public mail list -- installing things can be frustrating. can i ask that you paste some (perhaps not all) of the spew you got from when you tried to install the gimp-perl tarball? not only is the line about the cat interesting, but also the "install pdl" and "please do not install the pdl" error messages. send this to the whole list and await for the list to mail it out. i was apologizing to you (directly) for suse, even though i had nothing to do with this distribution (to the best of my knowledge). can i ask you personally as well as publically ... did you pay for your suse installation and what did you expect when you installed it? carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
