Re: compiling gimp 1.2
thanks, i already had looked at his site, and what he is doing looks very interesting. but i agree that i shouldn't need gnome, and i am going to try to compile GTK. if that doesn't work then i will plunge into dselect. Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't you just upgrade to testing and apt-get install gimp1.2 ? because i am wet behind the ears and upgrading to testing will directly increase my postings on this list ten fold. but i might do that anyway and get better at searching the archives. grrr, sisi

If you want the easiest solution try add deb-src http://some.debian.mirror/debian unstable main contrib non-free to your sources.list then type apt-get source libgtk1.2 libglib1.2 then in that directory there will be a gtk and a glib directory, go into glib and type dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot install the resulting deb files, do the same for gtk you can infact say apt-get -b source and it does the building for you, however I dont like doing it to this extent so hey.

Re: compiling gimp 1.2
if you want to install ximian execute rm -rf / as root, the damage will be about the same. Dude, I know we debian users are weird people, but hey, I know the ximian distro people try hard to get the packages right. A patch instead of a flame helps a lot more. There is Hadess's build of ximian gnome at http://www.hadess.net/idoru.shtml, you could try that as well. thanks, i already had looked at his site, and what he is doing looks very interesting. but i agree that i shouldn't need gnome, and i am going to try to compile GTK. if that doesn't work then i will plunge into dselect. at the moment i am getting gimp 1.2 with the --display option from my boyfriends debian PC. it works nicely. i'm also getting netscape that way. but i really want to find a solution because other wise i'm gonna go running back to photoshop, and i want to avoid that. gr, sisi or is there some other solution like compling GTK myself (will i run into other dependancies?) install woody. or backport the woody gnome packages to potato (ive done it, its a pain but it can be done, note its far LESS of a pain then ruining your system with that ximian crap). But the main point here is that you dont need any GNOME stuff to get Gimp 1.2 running, just gtk. I guess there are such gtk packages in debian as well, at least in testing; brave souls could try install those on a potato system? Dunno if it breaks anything, shouldnt gtk 1.2.x be compatible with gtk 1.2.y anyway? Not that I really know anything but this is how I do things, if they break, I fix them then :) Tuomas -- .--- [EMAIL PROTECTED].|\,/| [EMAIL PROTECTED] -. + www.ximian.com - ()-@@ , tigert.gimp.org + `- art director , `--')/ a gimp artist ---' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

LOL in my reading about the subject i came across some posts from you about how much you hate ximian. :) so, apt-get dist-upgrade woody that's all right? thanks, sisi -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
