Hello Julian, > 'Error in startup script: expected version number but got "1.5.3.GIT"' I get the same error. However it works with released versions of git: (faui04a) [~] git gui Error in startup script: invalid command name "git-version" while executing "git-version >= 1.5.3" (in namespace eval "::blame" script line 36) invoked from within "namespace eval $class $body" (procedure "class" line 16) invoked from within "class blame { image create photo ::blame::img_back_arrow -data {R0lGODlhGAAYAIUAAPwCBEzKXFTSZIz+nGzmhGzqfGTidIT+nEzGXHTqhGzmfGzifFzadETCVES+VARWDFzWb..." (file "/usr/share/git-gui/lib/blame.tcl" line 4) invoked from within "source [file join $oguilib $p]" ("foreach" body line 3) invoked from within "foreach p $idx { if {[lsearch -exact $loaded $p] >= 0} continue source [file join $oguilib $p] lappend loaded $p }" invoked from within "if {$idx ne {}} { set loaded [list] foreach p $idx { if {[lsearch -exact $loaded $p] >= 0} continue source [file join $oguilib $p] lappend loa..." (file "/usr/bin/git-gui" line 98) it is because "1.5.3.GIT" is not a number I guess.
