Hi, Thanks for the response. I worked around this by installing gtk-1.2.6, then configuring gimp 1.1.25 with the option --disable-gtktest. Gimp then compiled and executed, although I seem to get a lot of errors during startup (see below). I'm 99% sure I tried to build gimp-1.1.25 with a gtk+-1.2.8 compiled from sources, although it is just possible I only used the binary installation that I have on disk. I've installed and removed gtk versions 1.2.6 and 1.2.8 on several times trying to get Gimp to work. I'll do as you suggest and build from sources. Another problem I came across, was that PDL would not compile properly, complaining about something in my OpenGL (version 1.2). One of the developers of PDL suggested a patch, which involved a small change to opengl.pd. This solved the problem problem with PDL. parrot /export/home/davek % gimp Gdk-WARNING **: shmat failed! gimp: shmat() failed: Disabling shared memory tile transport.
