need to upgrade Gtk+ for gimp but how?

Birdman48 · 01-05-2012, 08:15 PM

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

What happens when you try to run gimp from the command line? What all errors/warnings do you get?

Birdman48 · 01-05-2012, 09:41 PM

Code:

jay@linux-caqv:~> gimp
gimp: symbol lookup error: gimp: undefined symbol: gtk_statusbar_get_message_area

(script-fu:5185): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error
jay@linux-caqv:~>

and as root:

Code:

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.

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

then
uninstall babl and gegl using yast

then in yast LOCK them

grab from gtk.org
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub

babl-0.1.6.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/babl/0.1/

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr

gegl-0.1.8.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gegl/0.1/

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr

gimp-2.6.11.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gimp/v2.6/

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gimp-remote

check the output and MAKE 100% sure that everything YOU want is being built

Looks like tonight is not my night.... Thanks for beating me to it

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:

Code:

linux-caqv:/home/jay # zypper up -t package

but I still get same output with gimp -v.

Also, I have uninstalled everything babl and gegl in Yast, but don't know how to "lock them" - sorry

John VV · 01-06-2012, 05:25 PM

the lock is on the r-click menu
in yast r-click on babl ( the now unchecked babl) and from the menu select lock

you need to do this one at a time - there is no bulk option

as to updating
what repos do you have installed ? using the gui yast

there are two different ways the control center ( i do not use that it is good for new users coming from windows )
yast
http://www.imagebam.com/image/4a2f2a168386071

"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

packman is the community repo with the multimedia programs and illegal in the USA video codecs
this is mine
http://www.imagebam.com/image/d2fe46168386744

with using the priaroites plugin set up
the 99 ,95 ,94 on the left
