Hello,

Can anyone give me the address or steps on how to install Gimp in MandrakeLinux? I had downloaded the RPM from Fedora, but I could not install it, when I do 'rpm -i ......'. Here the questions is, actually I am very new to Linux. So here I now request someone to help.

Thanks,
R. Kumaran

Your *FIRST* step would be: man rpm

You write that you have an Mandrake, and downloaded for Fedora. Normally it's recommended to pick a package for the distribution.

what version of Mandrake Linux?

I had posted to this list a detailed explanation of how to build the GIMP forMa\ndrake 10.0 - I suppose you are on 10.1 - but that expanatio n would work fine for 10.1 and the newer GIMP - (of course, yu'd need newer versions of all the packages and apps listed).

Alternatviely, you can search for an RPM for Mandrake 10.1 - thre should be one somewhere.

Try this link to set up your media sources if you have not already done that:

I installed the GimpShop rpm from a link on the page below and it worked for my Mandrake 10.1 system. It's uses Gimp version 2.2.4.

It's a hacked version of Gimp but seems to have all of the functionality and new features of Gimp. Just enter "gimp" to start it.

Mandrake comes with an rpm for Gimp, you should use that one.
