Subject RE: Building using -create_images gives error
I used CPAN to upgrade to the newest version, which is 1.211. I have looked
in the directory and tried to run the scripts, they don't even provide me
with usage information, just the error:

protocol error (1) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/i386-linux/Gimp/Net.pm line
66.

I have also tried running the other scripts the same way, and have gotten
the same error. I don't suppose your new scripts would work with 1.211
would they? or can you tell me how to fix this problem in the script itself.
I have a feeling it's being called by line 343:

Gimp::on_net { gsdl_flash_button; };

I'm not a perl guru, and havn't found anything in the perl documentation I
have lying around. Any help would be great!

Thanks!

I haven't used the -create_images flag, but I suspect the problem is
that the Greenstone scripts use Gimp 1.0 (or maybe 1.1) and you have
installed gimp version 1.2.

If you look in the $GSDLHOME/bin/script/gimp directory you'll find the
scripts that are utlimately called to create images. Can you run
these from the command-line? There may be gimp version 1.2 versions
in there also (I have some improved Gimp 1.2 scripts somewhere if
these don't work).
