It needs ONE pkg + deps. Running it out of a shell will quickly tell you which.

[Semme]

And that message suggests you need what? That's right -- gtk+3!

[Semme]

When running a package search, sometimes less is more.

As an experiment, load PPM with just "gtk" and note what's returned..

ScPup frugally installed on HD my 32bit laptop. Gimp 2.8 installed from PPM, When opening from shell I get error messages:

installed pygtk. is there any hope of getting gimp working?

So now this is for 32b ScPup on a different box?

Why not do your Gimp work on the 64b box?

Or is it for another user in the house?

Maybe load & fire this build.

Hi All,

With the exception of my old and trusty (and remastered) Slacko 5.7, I run 'Ubuntus' and 'debians' but not Slackos. The reason for this is that by now I've acquired a fair assortment of AppImages. My understanding is that Slackware was rarely considered by AppImage creators. Consequently, although designed to be 'Self-Contained', AppImages will often lack libraries supplied by operating systems other than Slackware. To get them to work under Slackos would involve a 'lib' chase complicated by having to serially start the AppImage via a terminal after adding each library to the OS to see what's still missing.

But someone posted recently that UExtract could be used to decompress an AppImage. So I picked one from my menagerie and confirmed that UExtract will, in fact, extract it. Once extracted, its binary(s) can be located and ldd (list dynamic dependencies) can be run from the Right-Click Menu. Also confirmed.

After adding missing dependencies to either the OS or the extraction folder, fredx181's Create Portable AppImage could be used to repackage it. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1011814#1011814.

Untested. Just thought I'd pass the idea on to those who really like Slackos.

And the SFS I linked?

As for what you said, Gimp 2.8 from PPM -- it should list 2.10 if you've updated your repos..

[gychang]

[Semme]

I'm sure you're missing more than that, so, make sure you have the appropriate devx loaded before running:

attached the file, Semme. thanks,

These are my test builds of NetSurf-3.10 in ScPup

In the 32bit version there was an error complaining that perl binaries and libraries have mismatched numbers. I think Slackware Current has upgraded the perl version so perhaps the ponce version of perl-html-parser needs upgrading as well. There is an older perl binary in /usr/bin along with the latest. What I did was strip out all the perl stuff that I could find, then I installed the latest Slackware perl package, then I installed HTML:Tagset (a small dependency) and HTML:Parser from source. I also have to replace the /usr/bin/xxd busybox symlink with a real executable from the vim package. NetSurf then compiles in the modified build environment. The number mismatch did not happen in 64bit.
