Actually that should not be the problem... (I think ;) I build it with the --enable-gimpdir= flag set like this ------------ #!/bin/sh date |tee build-start; ./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp/gimp-1.1.28 \ --enable-gimpdir=.gimp-1.1.28 |tee configure.out; \ make |tee make.out; date |tee build-end; \ make install |tee make.install.out;\ echo "build start time"; cat build-start; \ echo "build end time "; cat build-end ------------- just to bee sure i tested removing the ~user/.gimp-1.1 as you suggested and I still had the problem... more details. the splash screen hangs with the subtitle Plug-ins and the path /opt/gimp/gimp-1.1.28/lib/gimp/1.1/plug-ins/script-fu another interesting thing that happens is..... when I ctrl-C the app I get the following strange output --------- [jsheffie@kelly bin]$ ./gimp ^[[A./gimp terminated: Interrupt /opt/gimp/gimp-1.1.28/lib/gimp/1.1/plug-ins/animate_cells terminated: Interrupt --------------- animate_cells...??
