Hi: With some trepidation considering the firm refusal of help I had to acknowledge :-( when installing gimp-2.3.18-i586-setup.exe (from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121075) I'm asking for help. When I attempt to run Gimp 2.3 it barfs and dies immediately. No info is shown in the DOS box. Kent ( xanthian) on the gimpwin list suggested that problem was likely with GTK+ I had been running Gimp 2.2.x with a GTK+ version (prior to GTK+ 2.10.13) In an attempt to get everything as current as possible: I uninstalled Gimp 2.2.x, GTK+ and Gimp 3.3.18 then installed GTK+ 2.10.13 using gtk+-2.10.13-setup.exe (also from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121075) then installed gimp-2.3.18-i586-setup.exe Running Gimp 2.3.18 still gives same symptoms - DOSbox starts, Gimp splash screen displayed, two frame windows opened (main Gimp window and tip-of-the-day but no contents are painted), two tasks show in TaskManager: Gimp2.3.exe and script-fu.exe and then "Gimp 2.3 must close ..." error dialog is shown Install for Gimp 2.3.18 gives bug list queries to check. " 436242 depend on GTK+ 2.10.13" looks relevant but as I read it I s/b OK wrt it? Has anyone a suggestion for what might be wrong and/or further info I can supply? (Unfortunately I don't have the competence to attempt to compile Gimp myself) FWIW: this is the original thread on Yahoo-gimpwin: gimp-2.3.18-i586-setup.exe after install gives "gimp-2.3.exe has encountered" http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gimpwin-users/message/19705 Regards ...
