Certainly not! It is unlikely that a Debian package will install cleanly in FC5. And even if you manage to install it (e.g., using alien to convert the package), it is very likely that your system will be unusable or at least unmaintainable after that. Some Linux distributors have decided to split the GIMP files in two or more packages: one of them (usually just called "gimp") contains the files that are needed for normal usage and another one (usually called "gimp-dev" or "gimp-devel" or something similar) contains the files that are only needed if you want to build and install plug-ins. The latter usually includes the header files, the *.pc files needed by pkgconfig, etc. It should not be too hard for you to find the right package for your distribution. -Raphaël _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
