I have used the gimp, very lightly, for many years, starting back with about Redhat 3.
With every install or upgrade the acquire has always been in the menu. I upgraded from Fedora 7 to Fedora 9 recently and that upgraded the gimp to 2.6. I have checked every where I know to check and can't find an acquire button.
Why would it be removed?

Restructuring of menus caused this. What you want, is the File->Create menu. Hope that helps!

My File Create menu has, From Clipboard, Screenshot, Buttons, Logos, Patterns, and Web Page Themes. I still don't see anything about acquire. David

Te specific word "acquire" is no longer used, but you could also have Capture from Camera, Load from Camera, or XSane, for example. It depends on the plug-ins you installed. If Fedora 9 does not provide them for you, go to http://registry.gimp.org/

Hmm - it's been a while since I used Fedora, but look in yum (or package manager of your choice) for something like 'gimp-xsane' or 'xsane-gimp'. IIRC, it's packaged separately...

That just means you don't have a version of the XSane plugin installed that is appropriate for 2.6.x.
(this is easy to verify -- the plugin browser in the Help menu allows you to search by name, and shows where in the menu something shows up. searching 'sane' will probably bring up nothing)

Chris Mohler's suggestion is good. Personally I would recompile it myself (I recompile all these types of things myself just so I can be sure I know what I'm getting :)
