[Suns-at-Home] I need GIMP

[Jason Grove]

Make sure that the following are installed from the Solaris dist, not 
the companion cd:

GNOME2      SUNWgnome-img-editor             GNOME Image Editor
GNOME2      SUNWgnome-img-editor-devel       GNOME Image Editor - 
developer files
GNOME2      SUNWgnome-img-editor-devel-share GNOME Image Editor - 
developer files - platform independent, /usr/share
GNOME2      SUNWgnome-img-editor-root        GNOME Image Editor - 
platform dependent files, / filesystem
GNOME2      SUNWgnome-img-editor-share       GNOME Image Editor - 
platform independent files, /usr/share


They are on the u1 solaris install dvd (not the companion).  So unless 
you did a custom install of Solaris 10 U1, they should be in 
/usr/sfw/bin, if you did a custom one, then you may need to install the 
above.
