Well I tried fink tonight and installed gimp. All seems to have gone correctly. But now I can't seem to launch gimp.

I open terminal and write gimp. Is this ok?

I receive this text:

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C

Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
i installed it a while ago, and if i remember correctly there should be a RunMacGimp file in Applications/
 
That is an easy problem, you have to start XWindows, then you can open a terminal and type in gimp or just run the gimp command. BTW, did you install this from source or get a binary?

I've get all the stuff using fink by using the command dselect. One thing is I never installed Xfree86 since by using fink I received a package Xfree86-base.

Is it better if I delete the sw folder that was made by installing fink. Then I get the binary and install xfree86. Then reinstall fink and then get gimp with fink?

I'm a total newbie with unix. Just started yesterday :)
 
I deleted everything and then reinstalled by following the guide at macosxhints.com.

Everything is working properly now!!

Cool.

Now I got to find some other nice and useful software to install! :)
