in thread gimp, win32, system(), libgdk.dll not found

It is greatly appreciated.
The first solution didnt work. I am gonna try it on a different Windows machine tomorrow, to see if it is the machine or the code.
Second reply, I installed GTK, and the Gimp works fine from the start menu. Just not from command line.

    It is demoralizing trying to port this thing from Linux to Windows.
    Like I said, I am not a programmer, but I was able to write a nice little family photo program with music and photoediting in Perl, just off OReilly Books, Google and the Man command in Linux. If you read, all the answers are somewhere.
    I dont want to bother people with questions, is there a decent book or two that explain how to do stuff in Windows, sort of like Oreilly System Admin and Unix Power Tools books.

      Guess I should have read the question a bit closer. I had never tried to run gimp from the command line under windoze. Just tried it on my laptop running WinME using a dos window. A straight program call at the command line has to be enclosed in "" to launch it and works fine on my machine. I suspect that you are going to have to pass along the path to the lib but I don't know how you'd go about it. Just looked in my old copys of GIMP The Official Handbook and Guerrilla Guide to Great Graphics with The GIMP but didn't find anything on windoze command line use there either.

      I'd suggest taking the question to the Win-GIMP mailing list at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gimpwin-users/. It seems to be a fairly active list.
