Hi, I've built, gimp-1.1.25 on my Sun SPARCstation 20, using the following pieces of software and hardware. Sun SPARCstation 20, 4 x 125 MHz CPUs, 448 Mb RAM, Solaris 8. Perl v5.6.0 gtk+-1.2.8 PDL-2.1.1snap092100 (There's a know bug on sparc on the standard 2.2.1) gnu scientific library (gsl) v0.6, used with PDL. gdb-4.18 (strictly built on Solaris 7, but seems okay on my Solaris 8 box) I've got gimp compiled, okay(ish). There was one problem, which I avoided by commenting out this line $(PERL) ../pxgettext `find .. -type f -print | grep '\.pm $$\|\.xs$$\|examples/\|Perl-Server'` > gimp-perl.pot~ from gimp-1.1.25/plug-ins/perl/po/Makefile Gimp then builds okay, but crashes on startup. Debugging under gdb-4.18, shows it seems to be looking for a source file gtkbindings.c which I see is included in the source for gtk-1.2.6. My installation has a binary distribution of gtk-1.2.8. I see from looking at the Sunfreeware site http://smc.vnet.net/solaris_2.5.html I'm not the only one to have problems with gtk+1.2.8. See note on the site below. "Note that programs that use the glib and gtk+ libraries, such as the gimp-1.04 above, seem only to work with version 1.2.6 of these libraries provided below. " Has anyone got gimp 1.1.25 to run properly on a SPARCstation, and if so what libraries are needed ? I was thinking of installing gtk+-1.2.6 and trying to either run my gimp (linked with gtk-1.2.8) or recompile gimp and force it not to check the version number of the gtk+ library. parrot /usr/local/beta/gimp-1.1.25/bin % gdb gimp GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
