My install procedure goes something like this: ./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp --disable-perl make su -c "rm -rf /opt/gimp; mkdir /opt/gimp; chown glyph /opt/gimp" make install su -c "chown root /opt/gimp -R" (also this option-to-GCC message frequently appears during the compile: -DLOCALEDIR=\""/opt/gimp/share/locale"\" I think that indicates it thinks that's where the locale files should be...) I don't think it could install them anywhere else ... also, 'locate gimp.mo' yeilds nothing. Some discussion on this list has referred to the LINGUAS variable as having something to do with installation of translations, so I tried re[configur|mak|install]ing with LINGUAS set to fr_FR. Nothing happens here. At least, there are no translations installed. > > Is there something I need to do to get gimp to be localized?
