I'm running Gimp 1.1.20 and XFree86 4.0. My /etc/X11/XF86Config file contains the lines: Load "Type1" Load "freetype" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf/" I created that ttf directory and copied all the .ttf files that I could find into there. From MS Windows: \windows\fonts\*.ttf ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.gz Then I went to http://www.freshmeat.net/ and searched for the program called "ttmkfdir". When you download it, it contains a binary that you can run on a glibc2 system. Just rename it to "ttmkfdir" and move it to somewhere like /usr/local/bin. Then cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf and run ttmkfdir fonts.dir Exit X and restart it. All your true type fonts will be available in Gimp and everything else in X. You can install XFree86 4.0 easily by just downloading it from www.xfree86.org (in something like 3 large files). Once you tar -xzvf, it compiles easily with just a few commands: Something like ./config, make, make install (its been a while). You'd want to mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6-old and clean up or move out of the way old X files first. Hope this is helpful. -- Robert B. Easter [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Available at www.freshmeat.net gtk+-1.2.7.tar.gz The Gimp Tool Kit. A library for creating graphical user interfaces. Requires glib-1.2.7.tar.gz Available at www.gtk.org glib-1.2.7.tar.gz A support library of C routines for lists, hashes, memory allocation and other things. Available in the same place as gtk. Perl Extension: Gtk-Perl-0.6123.tar.gz The Perl interface to Gtk. The Gimp perl extension requires this. Available at www.gtk.org. Requires PDL. Install gtk first. PDL 1.9906 or higher (2.005 ok) Perl Data Language. Needed for perl scripts that do pixel manipulation. Available at www.CPAN.org At CPAN, you will have to download whatever else it requires: ExtUtils::F77 File::Spec imlib 1.9.7 The Image files libraries. If they are not installed, go get them. Search lycos for "imlib" www.labs.redhat.com/imlib/ This is needed for lots of things. It will also generate libgdk_imlib* 1. Ensure that all traces of libgimp, libgtk and libglib are removed from /usr/lib and /usr/include AND /usr/bin (gtk-config). Remove old man pages from /usr/man: man1, rm gtk* gdk* This isn't too important if you install everything --prefix=/usr this way, it will add to/replace old stuff. (OK) 2. Install glib cd glib-1.2.7 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Check for /usr/bin/glib-config ldconfig (OK) 3. Install PDL. Install whatever PDL depends on first: ExtUtils::F77 and File::Spec (available at www.cpan.org) perl Makefile.PL make make test make install (OK) cd PDL-2.005 perl Makefile.PL make Note: it will look for OpenGL/Mesa3D/GLu etc libraries. Make sure they are either not installed or installed correctly. If it finds /usr/include/GL it will think its installed. If OpenGL is not installed right, then edit the config file and disable opengl. make test make install (OK) 4. Install gtk/gdk cd gtk+-1.2.7 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Check for /usr/bin/gtk-config (OK) 5. Install Imlib 1.9.7 creates: /usr/lib/libimlib* /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib* /usr/bin/imlib-config /usr/share/aclocal/imlib* /usr/include/.. cd imlib-1.9.7 ./configure --prefix=/usr Note: If it fails to find gdk and you just install it, then you might need to run ldconfig rm config.cache make make install (OK) 6.

Here are my notes on what I did to install gimp: Yeah, those libraries create problems :) What exactly is PDL used for? It's the only package I haven't gotten yet. Here's part of what the README file says: -- PDL -- the package -- The perlDL project aims to turn perl into an efficient numerical language for scientific computing. The PDL module gives standard perl the ability to COMPACTLY store and SPEEDILY manipulate the large N-dimensional data sets which are the bread and butter of scientific computing. e.g. $a=$b+$c can add two 2048x2048 images in only a fraction of a second. The aim is to provide tons of useful functionality for scientific and numeric analysis. Check the pdl web site at http://pdl.perl.org for more information. Thats about all I know about it. Gtk-Perl complained when it was missing. Its need by perl programs that do pixel manipulation. Some version of it may have been installed with my slackware distribution (7.0), but I totally deleted my original perl installation and installed perl 5.6.0. So, I've had to install many perl modules that other people may already have.
Re: How to see the x,y coordinates instead of just the rulers?
I used cvs to checkout a copy of the developer version of gimp because I want to try some new features. No configure script was included. I installed autoconf and automake from gnu.org and tried a few things, but no luck. automake will complain about variables not defined and directories missing. What are the commands to compile it? I'd like to find a compilable version that has the new feature that shows the x,y coordinates. On Mon, 24 Apr 2000, Ben FrantzDale wrote: - Original Message - From: Robert B.

In my 1.1.18, I have the x,y coordinates in the lower left corner of the window containing my image. Have fun, Oliver I've looked for the lastest version at www.gimp.org. It lists the latest version as 1.0.4. The developer version is only available via cvs. Where can I download it otherwise?
