Problem #1: This has happened to me under both Mandrake 9.0/cooker and a fresh install of Mandrake 9.1/cooker. I install from gimp-1.3.13.tar.bz2 with ./configure --enable-python $ which python /usr/bin/python $ python -V Python 2.2.2 After the make install I run gimp-1.3 and I have about 3 or 4 python plugins. I reboot the machine and now I have one python plugin, Misc -> sphere. Whirlpinch, foggify, etc no longer like me :( All the python plugins start with #!/usr/bin/env python Looks ok: $ /usr/bin/env python Python 2.2.2 (#2, Feb 5 2003, 10:40:08)....... Problem #2: Under Mkd9.1 my gimp 1.3.13 only has a handfull of image formats (BMP, FITS, FLI, Fax G3, SGI, XCF, xjt). I have libpng3, libpng3-devel, libjpeg62, libjpeg62-devel, etc installed on this machine. This worked on my previous mdk9.0 compile. Problem #3: A large percentage of the script-fu plugins do not work, for example script-fu -> patterns -> land results in "ERROR: unbound vaiable (errobj plug-in-solid-noise)". Is this normal on gimp 1.3.13? Sincerely, Michael
