Hello, I just tried to install gimp-1.1.21 -- an succeded! Many thanks to all! But there was a problem during "make install". In plug-ins/perl/po it says: cp cs.gmo /opt/Gnome/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/gimp-perl.mo cp: cs.gmo: No such file or directory make: [install-po] Error 1 (ignored) the same for all the other languages: de.gmo, fr.gmo,it.gmo, no.gmo, ru.gmo By examining the problem I found that there are no *.gmo-files only the *.po. Is there a step missing that transforms the *.po into *.gmo? And yes, I have gettext-0.10.35 and am working under linux-2.2.14, glibc-2.1.2, gcc-2.95.2. And no, I don't know wether this problem appeared in 1.1.20 or before because normally I went away while gimp compiles and installs. Only this time I have been in front of my screen just in time when the make-errors occured. I have tried some perl-plugins and they work, but some have only the english texts (don't know wether this is caused by the error or by lacking any translation) BTW: Who ist responsible for the tips and their translations? Or the translations for all the gimp? Does a document exists, that describes the common terms for some languages? Like: layers Ebenen ... colours Farben ...
