Does anyone know of a >good graphics program for FreeBSD? Depends on what you're doing. If you're looking for image manipulation a la Photoshop, The GIMP is quite impressive. ftp://ftp.xcf.berkeley.edu/pub/gimp If you are willing to sacrifice a hundred or two megs of disk space, and some time, I suggest going into the developer's directory and grabbing the 0.99 betas. The new versions have some very impressive new features (most notably layers) which the 0.5x series lacks, and it compiles correctly on FreeBSD (shared library compilation doesn't work right for me, though). Unfortunately, all of those statically linked binaries are huge. If you're just looking to compile, and you don't have space, compile, then when you get disk space errors, go into the plugins directory and strip all of the executables you find. Repeat until compilation finishes. You'll still need 50+ megs to compile, but... -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
