Do you have app-text/ghostscript installed?

Comment 2 postmodern 2005-03-09 11:28:38 UTC

I emerged ghostscript, this has fixed the problem. I hope that ghostscript will be added to gimp as a dep via a global "gs" useflag or a local gimp "gs" useflag (much like media-gfx/graphicsmagick).

I'm closing 9 bugs at once, since these bugs should be fixed in my 2.2.7 ebuild
of the gimp.  ( just committed to the unstable tree ) If you find that your bug
was not fixed in the 2.2.7 ebuild, please open a new bug with what it is or is
not still doing.

Thanks for the attachments and comment, they helped!
