The Gimp will not run on my openSUSE 11.4 system. I think the culprit is Gtk. Here is the result of gimp -v:
Code:
linux-caqv:/etc/opt # gimp -v
GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.6.11
using GEGL version 0.1.2 (compiled against version 0.1.2)
using GLib version 2.28.0 (compiled against version 2.28.0)
using GTK+ version 2.18.2 (compiled against version 2.22.1)
using Pango version 1.28.4 (compiled against version 1.28.3)
using Fontconfig version 2.8.0 (compiled against version 2.8.0)
See the Gtk+ line?
I've tried updating all Gtk related packages with Yast, but I keep getting this result and gimp won't start. I suppose I could download the source, but I wouldn't know where to install Gtk+ 2.22 /unintall Gtk 1.18.2
I've been working on getting Gimp to run for some time now - here's the thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/forums/en...ml#post2424981
linux-caqv:/home/jay # gimp
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
gimp: symbol lookup error: gimp: undefined symbol: gtk_statusbar_get_message_area
(script-fu:5295): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error
what ????
i just rebuilt gimp2.6.11 last night on opensuse 11.4
( somehow my yast lock got removed and a DIFFERENT gimp was installed and replaced MY BUILD )
the gtk used as the system default works ( gtk2 2.22.1-13 ) and is in the suse updates repo
if you have a very old 2.18 installed you have NOT updaed the system from the install dvd --- please UPDATE THE SYSTEM ---
now if you want to install gimp 2.7 that is a DIFFERENT story
your gegl is OLD and the babl is not listed
for 2.6.11 install -- build and install in THIS ORDER --
uninstall gimp , there is A LOT in yast there are about 20 including "libgimp" say "yes" to breaking xsane
( xsane WILL work once you build gimp and run "make install" )
-- the above is a MUST DO !!! --- BUT LEAVE libgimpprint installed !!!!!!!!!!
there will be ONLY ONE gimp program installed and that is the print
Guess I'm still a noob. John, I tried updating with YaST, but nothing happened - no patches were "needed". I clicked on "all" patches, then hit accept and nothing happened. So at the command I line I did this:
"install and remove software " http://www.imagebam.com/image/4ec397168386360
( on the lower left is a link for "upgrades" click on it and select all from the bottom of the right side window)
under configure is "repositories"
Oss ,updates ,packman
