opening GIF (2)
As the problem still isn't solved (i had the named libraries installed) i'd like to restate my problem. Maybe somebody can help me out: When trying to open .gif files the opening 'hangs' and i need to cancel the action. On the console i get the following message 2 times when trying to open one .gif file: /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.0/plug-ins/gif: Segmentation fault caught I CAN however save and create .gif files; i just cannot open them. Thanks, cima.
Re: opening GIF
Well, I'm not sure what the current specifics with all your libraries are but with the recent difficulties with gifs, many free software packages no longer support the gif file format. For more info, see http://www.burnallgifs.org/ . Libraries such as the gdlib are no longer available because of the Unysis patent issue. That means that if you didn't already have this library, you wont be able to get it now and that may cause you to be unable to save gifs. I don't know if that's the specific cause of your problem but you may see if you can find a copy of gdlib and install it (or check to make sure you don't already have it installed). (Hint, check your redhat distro or the webalizer website. http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/download.html) On Mon, 11 Oct 1999, Cim Martens wrote: > Amy Abascal wrote: > > On Sat, 9 Oct 1999, Cim Martens wrote: > > > My GIMP was installed with the RPM shipped with RedHat 6.0.

I have these RPMs installed and GIF works for me: libungif-4.1.0-2 libungif-devel-4.1.0-2 -- -Stephan / / tisprut productions [tm] http://wiktor.dk/~stephan

Is this a recently (within past 3months) created version of gimp? On Sat, 9 Oct 1999, Cim Martens wrote: > My GIMP was installed with the RPM shipped with RedHat 6.0.

opening GIF
My GIMP was installed with the RPM shipped with RedHat 6.0. It refuses to open GIF-files. Is this a known problem? Can somebody tell me what to do about it? cima. -- This signature has been infected by the signature virus. Please help me spread and copy me to your .signature.
