Gimp

[jpangel1]

Hi --

I am running cacko 1.21b on a Zaurus 860.  I have also installed Xqt.  I installed Gimp 1.2.5 (gimp_1.2.5_armv5tel.ipk in addition to the plugins and other files associated w/ Gimp)  I start X, I get the aterm terminal.  Type in gimp and get the "/lib/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.2.3 not found (required by /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0" error.  It looks like I have GLIBC_2.2.2 on my system.  

1) where can I find GLIBC_2.2.3?  Is there any tricks to install?
2) Once I fix this, is there a way to install Gimp 1.2.5 so I can start Gimp without going to X?

Would appreciate any help.  I'm new to the ZUG and 860.

Thanks
JP

1.  Install these packages in the order listed:

http://bryandeluca.com/newfeed/libglib2.0_2.2.1_arm.ipk
http://bryandeluca.com/newfeed/glib-additi....2.10-2_arm.ipk
http://bryandeluca.com/newfeed/gtk_1.2.10.1_arm.ipk

2.  No, It requires an X server.  You could get the gimp source and port to Qtopia though and then it could run without X, but this is not easy.

Hope this helps.

1. could the abouve IPKs break already installed programs?
or are they 100% backwards compatible?

2. are these glibc files REPLACE or being ADDED to the current glibc files?

I only posted libglib which is not the same and GNU libc.  Since Sharp ROM does not come with glib there is no compatibilty problem on Sharp ROMs.  I think that jpangel1 was using a gtk library that was linked to a newer version of GNU libc.  That's why I supplied the correct version of glib and gtk.

Hope this helps.
