Ok i have Linux Mandrake 7.1 I build the gimp 1.1.28 everything built and made fine.... when I start running the program the status screen comes up and starts loading it hangs while trying to load the "script-fu" stuff..... nothing goes to STRERR i also downloaded (last night) the cvs version and tried to build that one and got the same problem..... Note i build these from the ground up (i don't patch) i also build them in nonstandard places. thoughts..?
