Can't find GIMP!!

Sat Feb 16, 2013 6:04 pm

I've "successfully" installed GIMP to do some image editing but can't seem to find it anywhere. Any help on that matter would be good but failing that what would be a half decent editing tool to run on Debian Wheezy? Nothing too fancy, just basic cropping, flipping, filling and stuff.

Thanks in advance.
Dave.

We have something in bash called tab completion. Try typing "gimp" followed by two tabs, and you should see commands starting with "gimp" on your system.

On my Pi running Arch, there is a symlink pointing to gimp-2.8

[alarmpi]# ls -l /usr/bin/gimp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Sep 17 08:58 /usr/bin/gimp -> gimp-2.8
[alarmpi]#

you can try "gimp-2.8" or create a symlink to the version you have or to 2.8, if yours is different:

ln -s /usr/bin/gimp-2.8 /usr/bin/gimp

Or modify if your gimp is elsewhere.

Thanks for the help, in the end I reinstalled it and it now works fine. Odd!

Cheers.
