Whenever I try and install the GIMP plugins A-L, the installer comes up (install.app) but I don't get the installer screen.I checked the console and got this:
Aug 31 00:33:58 Installer[2938] Can't open package /Users/kilowatt/Downloads/GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.pkg (error opening file GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.sizes). Any ideas? I did try re-downloading it, no success, same error. BTW, YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! LOVE THE PORTS!!!!!
I can't say it enough, yall rock!!!

Yep, the .sizes file does appear to be missing.Fix #1
Open a terminal.
cd to the directory containing the .pkg file.
type:
code:
touch GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.pkg/Contents/Resources/GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.sizes
Now try running the installer again.Fix #2
do all steps for Fix #1
then:
code:
cd GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.pkg/Contents/Resources/
echo "NumFiles 14
InstalledSize 419
CompressedSize 152" > GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.sizes
Now try running the installer again.Fix #3
Do all previous steps.
code:
gunzip GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.pax.gz
pax -r -f GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.pax
mv ./usr/local/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/* /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/
By the time you get here the plugins will be installed. I've no idea why the sizes file is missing and I would fix it but I can't download a 80 meg file, fix it and reupload it on my 14.4 =] [ August 30, 2001: Message edited by: apex ]
