My installation has a binary > distribution of gtk-1.2.8. I compiled gimp 1.1.25 under Solaris 2.6 on a Ultra1 without any problems (except for the Perl Makefile, but you solved that already). It works fine for me, and I get no crashes or errors on startup. Note that I downloaded and compiled glib-1.2.8 and gtk-1.2.8 from the sources. I have never used the pre-compiled versions from the Sunfreeware site, so maybe you should consider compiling them yourself and see if it makes a difference. If you are interested, here are my installation instructions for Solaris 2.6. I install everything under /Local. Feel free to choose another prefix that suits your environment. Also, the "make dvi" steps are optional and require that you have teTeX or another TeX package. The lines that start with [su] mean that you should execute these commands as root or as the user that owns the installation directories (important if you are doing that over NFS). * glib-1.2.8 (sources: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/) ./configure --prefix=/Local --with-threads=solaris make make check [su] make install make dvi [su] cp docs/*.dvi /Local/doc-dvi/ * gtk+-1.2.8 (sources: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/) ./configure --prefix=/Local make [su] make install make dvi [su] cp docs/*.dvi /Local/doc-dvi/ * PDL-2.003 (sources: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/KGB/) perl Makefile.PL make test [su] make install (note: many of the tests failed under Solaris, but it seems to work anyway) * Parse-RecDescent-1.70 (sources: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/DCONWAY/) perl Makefile.PL make test [su] make install * Gtk-Perl-0.6123 (sources: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/KJALB/) perl Makefile.PL make test [su] make install * gimp-1.1.25 (sources: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/) ./configure --prefix=/Local make make [su] make install cd docs make dvi [su] cp *.dvi /Local/doc-dvi/ cd .. (note: it is necessary to type "make" twice before "make install" because libgimpi.a is only built correctly on the second pass - see bug #24077) Hope this helps... -Raphael
