Fiddling while Gimp burns.
Tried the latest development gimp, 2.3.9. Had a problem with
Xsane. It reecognized Xsane, and when I selected it gave me the
"accept" page. I said yes and then Xsane blew up.
(In the process of getting a runnable 2.3.9 I had to delete som3
glibs and insatll newer ones.)
So I downloaded 2.2.12 into its own directory, and compiled it.
It gives me the inital splash sreen but then errors, such as the following:
(gimp:12480): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type
`GimpConfigInterface'
(gimp:12480): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_interface_add_prerequisite:

Segmentation fault
---------------------------
So back to the drawing board. I can of course wipe out everything
and start all over. But I am stilll curious about the Xsane
thing. What would cause it to start and then abend? It hasn't
been changed.
