Hello,
It was pointed out to me that I've made some mistakes in putting
together the GIMP distribution file. Also our local users notified
me of a problem which I have fixed now, so the following changes
were made:
1.) Re-compiled everything with CC rather then GCC....
2.) added libxdelta.so as well as libXpm.so to the lib directory.
3.) Removed the dependency on /usr/shlib/libdnet.so
4.) On DEC 3000 machines, the available color maps apparently
confuse the color visual matching code in GIMP. So these
machines need to run gimp with a private colormap installed.
Unfortunately the (install-colormap) setting in .gimp/gimprc
is *not* taken into account in this version of gimp because
graphics is apparently initialized before the config file is
read !!
So I've added the option "--install-cmap" to gimp which
cause it to run with a private colormap properly and thus work
on DEC 3000 machines.
These are the new distribution files:
-r--r--r-- 1 ftpadmin guest 582 Mar 9 12:20 README
-r--r--r-- 1 ftpadmin guest 13150633 Mar 9 13:10 gimp-digital-unix-0.99.19.tar.gz
This is the new README file:
Installation of GIMP under Digital Unix 4.0x:
a.) Get the distribution file to /tmp
b.) Enter the commands:
# cd /usr/local
# gzip -dc /tmp/gimp-digital-unix-0.99.19.tar.gz | tar xf -
# rm /tmp/gimp-digital-unix-0.99.19.tar.gz
c.) You can now start gimp by entering:
$ /usr/local/bin/gimp
d.) If you see this error after startup:
** ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
gimp fatal error: sigabrt caught
start gimp with this command:
$ /usr/local/bin/gimp --install-cmap
No warranty of any kind!
So sorry for the confusion.
Tom
