I've been trying now for three days to get 1.3 to work. When I compile the latest source it seems to work fine. But when I run the gimp-1.3 it just exits with the message: The program 'gimp-1.3' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'. (Details: serial 46 error_code 16 request_code 154 minor_code 20) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) With a lot of tweeking I managed to compile the CVS version and got the same result. Can anybody help? Olle -- War does not determine who is right, war determine who is left.
