    Hello all:

    I have a very perplexing problem. I installed the open source publishing program, Scribus (Version 1.3.3.14), along with Ghostscript (Version 9.01), and GIMP (Version 2.6.11).

    Scribus opens alright, however, every time I try to edit the size of the photos I get a message that says, "The program GIMP is missing". I know GIMP is installed correctly because it works fine by itself. I have no problem at all manipulating the pictures.

    I have Windows 7. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling three different times and still the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you :)

    What order did you install the programs?

    I seem to remember that Scribus has an External Tools config option to tell it where to find The Gimp (and Ghostscript)

    The first time I installed Scribus, then Ghostscript, and then GIMP.
    Second attempt I installed Ghostscript, Scribus, then GIMP.
    Third try I did GIMP, then Ghostscript, and finally Scribus.

    I just looked at the Scribus file and didn't see any external tools config option.
