Sorry for being a bit slow, but I believe you've run into a compiler bug
in MIPSpro cc... It doesn't clear structs correctly according to the C
specification when there are insufficient initializers for a struct. I
ran into this bug with MIPSpro 7.2.1.3m and it works with
7.3.1.something (don't remember exactly and I don't have access to that
machine now).

Apply this patch to your glib:

[Gimp-user] Types of Mathematical Art (was ANNOUNCE: Mandelbrot Invert 1 and 2 plug-ins)

[Stan Schwartz]

Yes, in part, but not in a conventional way.  I'm interested in working at 
the boundary between mathematical and representational art, and in 
particular in finding new ways to use mathematics to transform 
representation.  This is in contrast to other fractal software I've seen 
that either uses mathematics to create representation, e.g., IFSCompose, or 
that never intends to create other other than mathematical art, e.g., 
FractalExplorer.  My "Mandelbrot Invert plug-ins" apply the Mandelbrot set 
to recolor an existing image, which may have been representational, leaving 
the existing image still visible at the end.  You can view other examples 
of digital art I've created by writing and applying mathematical algorithms 
to transform representation, in this case my own scanned, conventional, 
figurative paintings, at the gallery page at my web site, 
.  My digital art 
collections are accessible from the bottom of the scrolling thumbnails 
frame at the left side of the page.  These include applying linear affine 
transformations through IFS or MRCM algorithms (another kind of fractal) to 
repeatedly rescale, translate, rotate, and reflect arbitrary images into 
self-similar, fractal representations of themselves.  Another example is 
applying displacements derived from strange attractor time series equations 
(HŽnon, Lorentz, and Rossler) to stretch images.  Though the behavior of 
these difference or differential equations is chaotic (based on parameter 
settings), I've found that if I keep close enough to the starting point (in 
terms of iterations) then the displacements are small eough that output 
images are still recognizable as a transformed versions of the input, which 
I find aesthetically pleasing.  I may or may not rewrite these and other 
image transformation algorithms I develop into GIMP plug-ins, depending on 
how my career and time availability goes.  I am in the process of 
undergoing a career change from expert systems programmer to conventional 
artist to attempting to find work as a full-time graphics algorithm 
designer/computational artist.

Note that I'm not trying to put down other kinds of mathematical art.  My 
interest is in defining a niche for myself that best reflects my background 
(both artistic and mathematical), personality and interests.  I'd also like 
to mention that my Penn address, [EMAIL PROTECTED], is a rarely 
attended legacy account and that I prefer receiving mail at my new address, 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  I would have posted from there, but 
xcf.berkeley.edu bounced my messages as being unable to find my client 
host. I assure you it exists.

Thanks and take care,
Stan Schwartz

[Gimp-user] install and use gimp without X

[Gregor Bruhin]

Hi,

I would like to install/use gimp on my webserver, and I have no X server 
installed.

Is it possible to finish the installation of gimp without X (without 
graphic mode) ?
Is it possible to lanch gimp script-fu server without X ?

Many thanks for your help and comments ! Greg
