upgrade to Leopard on Mac presents GIMP problem

I just upgraded my macbook to the Leopard OS (wonderful). However, one side effect of this is that GIMP is now dead. I can't get it to launch or do anything. X11 still launches and seems fine but that isn't helping GIMP any. So far this is the only program affected but since i've only had Leopard installed for a day, that could change. Am I dead with GIMP?

I have no real experience here - but have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling GTK and GIMP? Maybe something was hosed during the upgrade process?

no, i haven't. i just discovered this problem this evening. i finally took photos today with my iphone and i wanted to see how much i could improve them in an image editor. that's when i tried opening them in GIMP and discovered the problem. so i ended up going to photoshop and editing them there. actually, the pictures were pretty good. i was just curious as to how good a camera was on the iphone. (talk about point and shoot!) i especially like the way i can see the image i'm going to shoot on the iphone, click on the iphone and it takes it on the back of it. i photo pops up when i sync with the iphone and the mac and pics come right in. i guess i'll try a reinstall this weekend unless there is a big notice there that it only works on Tiger (the earlier OS), oh, am attaching two photos. all i did was crop these two.

I'm officially jealous :)

It would be better to upload your attachments somewhere (photobucket, etc) and post a link - anyone on dial-up is going to have a hell of a time with that last message ;)

how many people here are on dialup? for anyone still debating the switch in the usa, i have found that it paid for itself. i have not owned a land line in years. i own an iphone. period. i am on the cheapest plan with that since I use email to stay in contact with over 95% of the people I know. I also threw away my fax machine.years ago. i use the free faxzero online instead. I don't need to add to my broadband cable bill with entertainment because I get all the dvds I need free from the 3 libraries I use, setting up my holds online. so i need no tv other than as a monitor. i can also stream media on my macbook for further entertainment or education, including podcasts. both my husband and i can also be online at the same time. i can also carry my macbook all over my home and still be online, including outside. This is also tax deductible because we use it for work. All this for $45 a month. Oh, and I need to use a stamp once or twice a month now since I handle all my mail online. I realize those of you not in the usa do not have these ideal cirecumstances necessarily but it is hard for me to understand why anyone in the usa thinks dialup is a bargain.

dial-up (was: upgrade to Leopard)

Me. Mostly due to lack of alternatives.

If either the Government or an ISP or both gets an act, we can eventually get a 512kb satellite connection for about AUD$45 a month. Plus ghasp dollars per gigabyte.

None of the mobile (cellular) based data networks are functional here (town in Western side of Tasmania) (very few even work for telephones), the sole alternative (called OneWire) is wireless within town (to fixed-point Yagi antennae) but sometimes works out slower than dialup.

There is no DSLAM in the exchange, nor even any promises from telcos about one. So no ADSL. There is no "real" wireless.

This is quite a change from the city of Perth, Western Australia, where barebone ADSL can be had from AUD$15 a month, real (ADSL2, 6 Mb vs 800 kb, 10GB/month) from AUD$49 a month, wireless (most areas, about AUD$90 a month), mobile (everywhere, from about AUD$120 a month for a useful plan), etc.

Cheers; Leon
