Dear gimp-users,

I want to put an arrow mark in a figure. I didn't find the option in gimp 1.2 version to put an arrow mark using gimp. I can draw a line. But I could not figure out how to put an arrow. I am new user of gimp.

While searching for it I came across Graphics Muse tool (http://www.graphics-muse.org/sw/gfxarrows.html) which provide plugin for drawing an arrow. I follow the instruction to install the plugin but could not do it.

Pls help me.
Your suggestion will be highly appreciated.

With best regards, sunita

Hi Alexandre,

I tried to install it as root in the Linux machine. I did not make any changes in the config.h. These are the steps specified in the README file.

0. Edit config.h - only a couple of items there you might need to change. 1. xmkmf
2. make Makefiles
3. make
4. make dist

1. output of xmkmf command =================================================== [root@tyrosine gfxmuse-0.4]# xmkmf
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config ===================================================

2. output of make Makefiles =================================================== [root@tyrosine gfxmuse-0.4]# make Makefile + rm -f Makefile.bak
+ mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config -DTOPDIR=. -DCURDIR=. ===================================================

3. output of make =================================================== [root@tyrosine gfxmuse-0.4]# make
making all in ./debug-d...
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/sunita/softwares_pdf/gfxmuse-0.4/debug-d' rm -f debug.o gcc -c -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -I. -I../hdrs-d -Ihdrs-d -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -g -Wall -DDEBUG -DGIMP12 -c debug.c cp libgmdbg.a ../lib-d

make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/sunita/softwares_pdf/gfxmuse-0.4/debug-d' make: *** [all] Error 2 ========================================================

In the third of the installation I am getting the above error msg. How to get rid of this error?

Thanks for your help.

It is impossible to help you until you tell us what exactly goes wrong

by installation.

Hi

I am still having the problem. I have done as you have mentioned and ran following command as an user.

1. xmkmf 2. make Makefiles
3. make

While running make command as an user following error I got. ============================================================= [sunita@tyrosine gfxmuse-0.4]$ make

I do not know about the other commands, but you would _normally_ run 'make' and everything else except 'make install' as {USER}, then run 'make install' as root.
