Notes on GIMP for Solaris	(v1.1.30 - 12/20/00)
-------------------------


Just some quick comments to prepare you for GIMP.
First off, if you are trying to run GIMP
without installing E, you'll need to install
all the graphics libraries, GTK/GLIB, and
Imlib.  You almost might as well just install E.
For instructions on this see the download page.

I've found that sometimes when I start GIMP
E will segfault.  All the borders of the windows
will be "scrambled" (color messed up), which 
is the indicator.  I haven't figured out why this
happens, and its not always consistant.
Anyway, IF this happens E will give you 3 options
(Retry, Restart, Exit).  DO NOT EXIT!  If you 
exit you'll end up back at a DTLOGIN screen and
have to do it all over again.  Instead, let E
restart.  Once E restarts GIMP will start up,
and you won't have the problem again untill you 
log out.  If I find a fix I'll make the change,
but for now just live with it like this.

Also, this package is VERY LARGE.  The installation
into /usr/local will suck up 90.9M, on top of
all its requirements.   

For info on using TrueType fonts please see the download
page.
