Hi, It depends on which icons. A lot of the default icons (e.g. save, open etc. in menus / toolbars) are from gtk+. Which version of gtk+ are you using? There was a recent problem with the 2.9 series, where a header file wasn't correctly built / installed that caused some problems. For GNOME 2.14.2 though, you should be using gtk+ 2.8.19. I don't know if that suffers from the same problem. GIMP previews are (I think) done in GIMP itself (either that or in gtk +). Are you using a self-compiled version of GIMP? If so, do you have the various image libraries installed? (You'll need the -devel or -dev packages of them from your distro). If it is a self-compiled copy, check at the end of the configure stage, it should list all the features that are enabled (or disabled), including the image types GIMP is compiled with support for. If it isn't a self-compiled version, you may have broken one of the dependencies (gtk+). In which case, it may be a good idea to reinstall the distro-provided packages of these libs. If your using distro-provided packages, its generally unwise to overwrite them with self-compiled packages. A better option is to install the various new bits in a separate prefix (/opt/gnome2 or /usr/local or something as opposed to /usr). This saves things like this from happening (as you can always remove the new packages and still be left with a working environment). Check out garnome [1] or jhbuild [2] to help with building GNOME from scratch. Hope this provides at least a little help ;) Don [1] http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/ [2] http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/jhbuild/ On Mon, 2006-06-19 at 17:31 +0800, michael kapelko wrote: > i'm compiling gnome-2.14.2 now, i've compiled 1/3 so far, and replaced > old packages with new ones, but now i can't see any images on buttons > now. and GIMP doesn't show preview, it says type is not supported. > i must have wrong compiled some package? > which one? and how to compile it correctly? > currently i'm using xfce-4.2. > > thanks. > _______________________________________________ > gnome-list mailing list > gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
