GAP can't find GIMP2

Kenji Miyamoto · 05-23-2005, 11:42 PM

While configuring the GIMP Animation Package I got errors saying that I didn't have The GIMP2:

Code:

checking for gimp2.0 gimpui-2.0 gimpthumb-2.0... Package gimp-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing 'gimp-2.0.pc'.
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
To Package 'gimp-2.0' found

I installed the newest GIMP using Checkinstall only minutes ago, and it runs.

What is the cause of all of this?

As you say you have installed the latest version of gimp , which is 2.3.0 , but the configure script is searchinf for gimp-2.0 so try installing gimp 2.0 and then try or try to get GAP for ver 2.3 or 2.2.7

i have't actually installed GAP , but I think this must be the problem

it's not searching for "gimp-2.0" it's searching for the pkg-config file ( the numbers do not have to match, for example gtk+-2.6.x will have a pkg-config file called gtk+-2.0 not gtk+-2.6).

cat the package you installed ( cat /var/log/packages/gimp-xxxxxxxxxxx) and look for a $PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig entry, you need to know if the package you installed came with the .pc file configure is looking for "gimp-2.0.pc"\

if it didn't come with the pkg-config file, you will either have to find the rest of the package, get a decent package or build it from source.

edit: just noticed you installed via checkinstall, does that mean you compiled it yourself? where did you install it? did you pass options to configure?

what you probably need to do is ( if you did ./configure, make, checkinstall ):

Code:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

and re-run configure

I would I set up my system so that PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set at bootup?

add it to a startup script, either your ~/.bashrc ( for you only ) or /etc/profile ( for everybody). optionally, instead you could create a script to do it in /etc/profile.d/ like the rest of the slack packages do.http://www.google.com/firefox?client...en-US:official
