The LaTeX interpreter stops with an error. It seems that it can't place all the figures correctly and I haven't figured a workaround out for this yet.

This catalog helps to find the stylesheets on your harddisk. > The configure command produced the following: Looks good as well ... > On a related topic: the reason that I'm trying to build the PDF > file is that I want to print a hard-copy.

This is *way* too much work for a manual. As Axel already mentioned. We did put PDF versions on our project page (http://docs.gimp.org). Unfortunately, they're not very up-to-date because of the recent errors I'm running into ... Additionally, some of the figures in the manual are not placed correctly on a page. Well, having said, it's far from usable. [1] - http://db2latex.sf.net Greetings, -- Roman Joost www: http://www.romanofski.de email: romanofski@xxxxxxxx
