I compiled gimp today (1.1.3) and ran into this problem:
it warned me about perl version being older than 5.004, and indeed, when I
enter:
perl -v
I received this:
--- *** ---
This is perl, version 4.0

but I remembered I've seen perl5 in sysinstall so i looked there and this is
what I saw (sorry about the charset, don't know how to change it to this
message):

So it looks like I have the Perl 5.004 or newer set up, do I have a thing or
two pointing to wrong direction or have I mixed to different things or what ?
Everything on gimp compilation went fine, but I found out I can't use any
other file extensions but some xfc or something, and script-fu and filters
don't work. The only big errormessage I got during configuration was this perl
version, so i assume it's the reason. (though it could be that I'm running
2.2.6, don't lose your nerves there :)
Anything?
pls CC to me.
