It looks like i'm not lucky at all, i want to run gimp, but i have to
compile it first, so i need gtk, also need to be compiled, then
gnumake, uncompiled for sgi yet (i did not find anything about it on
sgi). I'm not a programmer and i try to stick to the README and
INSTALL files to make it work.

Is there anybody trying to compile gtk or gimp for IRIX, the latest
version, cause the older ones are buggy.

Tx a lot for all your help.
