help help GTHUMB officially BROKEN. Re: gnome apps belly up. [SEC = UNCLASSIFIED]

["Paul (NCC/CS.)" <pts%bom.gov.au@localhost>]

gidday Folks,


well I just grabbed a fresh disk , 
did a fresh install of NetBSD 4.0.1 ,
and pkgsrc Q3 08 ,

and built gthumb from nothing ,

8 hours work.


and it STILL doesn't work.


Take it to a directory with .jpg 's and it says :

NO IMAGE


anyone? Anyone?

I think 2.10.9 version must be broken.


(old 2.10.7 on work machine works)

cheers,
Paul.
