Whoa! That's taking things a bit personally there. You *did* ask if I
was getting tired of this thread, right? I never said I was getting
tired of *you*. Or did you not really mean to offer that option?

Basically I *am* getting tired of repeating myself, but I'll do it
once again: I think what you've run into is a RB problem, not a runrev
problem. If they're going to require that the GIMP libraries be
installed (and a particular version at that) then their code won't run
without those libraries. Read Jacque's response about OS resources.

This isn't particularly a linux problem, or a runrev problem, or even
a RealBasic problem - it's a design issue. It's no different from you
writing an application that requires the BobWarrenSpecialLibrary
module, and then it won't run without that module being present.
