I have the following gimp* ports installed: gimp-2.6.1,2 The "meta-port" for The Gimp gimp-app-2.6.1_1,1 A GNU Image Manipulation Program gimp-gutenprint-5.1.7_1 GutenPrint Printer Driver gimp-help-2.4.1 GIMP user's manual The error message I got was: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The GIMP user manual is not installed on your computer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- gimp-help-2.4.1 worked OK with 2.4 but perhaps it's not compatible with 2.6. (I see from www.gimp.org that work is in progress on updating the user manual for GIMP 2.6) so I thought I'd switch over to the online help but then I got the following error message: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Could not open 'http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-help.xml' for reading: Operation not supported Perhaps you are missing GIO backends and need to install GVFS? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I have gio-fam-backend-2.16.5 and gvfs-0.2.5 installed. This isn't restricted to just the online help, gimp won't load any file via http. I asked about the http problem in comp.graphics.apps.gimp but didn't get any response. Google searches haven't unearthed anything about this so I was wondering if it might be a problem related to the FreeBSD port rather than gimp itself? -- Mike Clarke
