I am launching gimp via an NFS export on RHEL4.  It launches fine, but when I select File/Open, it terminates with this error: ++++++++++++++++++++ # gimp process 26760: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/usr/packages/dbus10/var/lib/machine-id": No such file or directory See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.   D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace gimp: terminated: Aborted (script-fu:26761): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error +++++++++++++++++++++= I did search you archives and found one hit that said dbus-uuidgen needs to be run on the system that is exporting the software, but there was never a closure on the thread that said that fixed it.  While I am waiting for the techs that have the power to run the "dbus-uuidgen", I wanted to ask for your opinion.  Do you believe that is the fix? Another bit of information is that I can run "dbus-launch gimp", and it works fine.  Why would that be if the machine-id is still not set? Thanks in advance for your help. Steve. </body> </html>
