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

If you could help me dig my way out of the swamp off list or on list I would be grateful. I have Slack 10.2 installed. When Gimp 2.3.6 failed I tried to upgrade my libs and thoroughly messed them up. But I have a clean copy on another partition. So my game will be to upgrade on that partiton with your help. Did you use slack Current or do you go directly to another source? If so, what sites? Did you deinstall the Slack packages first or not? What exactly did you upgrade? All assistance appreciated. Carol, in answer to your question although there is a third party program around that will update Slack on the fly, like apt on Debian or Gentoo, I haven't used it. I prefer to go through the drama of a major upgrade once or twice a year. But I do try to keep Gimp up to date. With the advent of more DTP capability--- CMYK, ICC Profiles and such---staying current is more critical. BTW there is a good guide to using Gimp in DTP workflow buried in the online documentation of Scribus, a program that works well with Gimp.
