Hi, One of my rare regrets with CentOS 5 was that GIMP only came in version 2.2, but 2.4 offers many nifty new functions quite handy for everyday work. For those of you who are interested, I built some GIMP 2.4 packages for CentOS 5. Download and install (using rpm -Uvh) the following packages: http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/gimp-2.4.6-1.zzz.i386.rpm http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/gimp-libs-2.4.6-1.zzz.i386.rpm http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/gtk2-2.10.14-4.zzz.i386.rpm http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/libexif-0.6.15-3.zzz.i386.rpm http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/pygtk2-2.10.6-1.zzz.i386.rpm http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/pygtk2-codegen-2.10.6-1.zzz.i386.rpm http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/pygtk2-libglade-2.10.6-1.zzz.i386.rpm Runs nice and doesn't wreck anything :o) Enjoy!
