> Chances are c:\Users\Bob P\.Gimp-2.6 is not where GIMP is installed. That's your personal gimp folder. What you probably want is C:\Program Files (x86)\gimp-2.6\bin\. Look for the folder with gimp-2.6.exe in it. That's the directory that Scribus needs to know about.

The Gimp 2.0 is found on my computer under Program Files(X86) and I 
would think this would be where I would need to steer Scribus. This 
Folder is 108 MB. From this I would conclude that I would use c:\Program 
Files(X86). With this I still get the pop up window that Scribus says it 
is missing. I add \bin to it and get the same results.

When I double click the icon for gimp on the desktop it opens so I know 
I have the program. I have even tried a file in 1.4.0rc2 and the results 
are the same. I'm about ready to throw up my hands. Any other suggestions?
