I've been driving myself potty trying to solve a weird problem with
the GIMP, but to no avail. I hope someone here can help. Anyone who
can will earn my undying gratitude.
Since installing the GIMP, I have found that any images I save as
JPEGs are turned into garbage. Some images will get partly chopped
around, others, involving graded colours, will be turned into big
fuzzy messes. I have tried viewing said images in the GIMP, xv and
netscape, and they look the same in all of them. Also I've found that
if I try indexing a file to turn it into a GIF, it suffers similarly,
regardless of how many colours I let the index use. XCF files save
just fine.
The only similar problem I came across in my searches on the web,
in the archive of another list, was apparently cured by removing and
reinstalling libjpeg-devel-6a-1.rpm. I have tried to repeat this, but
when attempting to remove it (by rpm -e), was told that the package
wasn't installed. When I tried to install it, I was told I couldn't
because it was already installed. I ended up doing a --force on it,
but rpm still believes the package is both installed and not
installed. The same happened with libjpeg-6a-1.rpm. None of this has
solved my original problem.
I started with GIMP 0.99.19-1 and am now on 0.99.28. I am running
redhat 5.0 on a K5 166 with 64MB RAM and a no-name S3 card. I also
have GTK 1.0.0-1 loaded.
I'm hoping this is something really simple that I've overlooked. I'm
maybe one step about total newbie, but it's not a very big step.
Please be gentle with me.
Thanks,
- Scott
