[Gimp-developer] Re: problem configuring gimp to use PDL and Gtk

[Kevin Beason <beason@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I solved the problem. I set $PERL5LIB and configured my path so perl5
actually pointed to the newest version of perl instead of 5.004. Whoops.

Thanks anyway,
Kevin

p.s. Gimp and script-fu work great on our SGI Origin200!
