OTOH it took me days to get the beast running on Solaris and I don't know if my working locale stuff comes from some mystic environment variables that were set when compiling gtk+ and gimp. (there are lots of mystic variables set in the university's heterogeneous network) ;) Another important point to mention is that GIMP wants to be compiled with the same version of gettext that GTK was compiled with, which should not be solaris gettext (didn't work for me) but GNU gettext. So compiling GTK with some GNU gettext lying around (not linking against it because that's the job of the app which links against GTK) _and_ GIMP with --with-included-gettext should do the job because then GTK will use the GNU gettext that ships with the GIMP tarball. bye, --Mitch
