The i86_64.rpm packages of gimp in the 8.2-beta9 need a version of glibc that is not installed on my system yet. I'm for keeping the install relatively canonical, so messing with glibc will wait. So I think my answer is to build the gimp nosrc.rpm package on my SLES8 system. But there seem to be prerequisite src.rpms. For example where is the gimp-print-4.2.5.tar.bz2 located? I presume there is a src.rpm that contains it somewhere? P.S. If anybody cares, I'll gladly make the compiled rpms available. P.P.S. I'm making the switch to SuSe/AMD64 from RedHat/alpha, so bear with my stumbling over conventions in this world. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."
