Good morning from Amsterdam
Thanks for sending me the code. I've run it and it confirmed that it has installed. Gimp still won't open. I ran the code that wread gave me to show the missing dependencies. The ones that are shown are the ones I cannot find when I run a search in the Slackware database from the PPM. It has been refreshed and the module updated. below is the copy or the results from the terminal. Again many thanks for your patience and help.
