Hi, there has been a problem with the 1.2.2 tarballs that made the build fail for people that don't have msgfmt (part of gettext) installed. I have built new tarballs that should fix this problem. Unfortunately some mirrors already have the old tarballs and it will take some time for them to catch up. The new fixed tarballs are: 9846904 Jul 27 07:05 gimp-1.2.2.tar.bz2 13520420 Jul 27 07:05 gimp-1.2.2.tar.gz Please excuse this inconvenience and let's hope the new tarballs work for you. Salut, Sven
