I'm starting to re-install software using portupgrade (portinstall). I've a few problems with that, but I'll leave that to another post. The immediate problem is that I've used portinstall to install gimp (picture processing software) which I was happily using on the previous version. It installs OK (after a fearful amount of time) but when I start it, I get a segmentation fault: freebsd [22:07] ~>gimp & [1] 3696 freebsd [22:09] ~> [1] Segmentation fault gimp freebsd [22:09] ~> If I run as root, there is no problem: freebsd [22:09] ~>sudo gimp & [1] 3700 freebsd [22:10] ~> [1] + Suspended (tty output) sudo gimp freebsd [22:10] ~>fg sudo gimp Password: freebsd [22:11] ~> It starts OK and I can use it fine. The config file ".gimp-2.6" is saved in root's home directory. I've tried RTFM, but there is no information on this problem. Maybe it's due to some library having the wrong permissions and I should search the system for files with 544 permissions or something. Does anyone have a clue as to what's going on, or should I report a bug? Thanks heaps.
