Well I did manage to get past the error by editing the file /etc/ld.so.config and commenting out /usr/local/lib. Now I can get some versions to work, such as 2.2.9 and 2.3.3. And I fired up the automatic update program for Slackware (not part of the Slack distro btw, and still somewhat controversial.) It is called swaret. Unstable gimp form 2.3.4 on requires glib with numbers 2.8.0 or higher, Even with an update from Slack -current the newest glib is 2.6.6. I may have to set up a Debian partition just for Gimp. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
