Running on the Slackware64 Current of 16-Jul-2019 (except for mesa which is 19.1.3).
Gimp won't start. The message is
Code:
Libgimp version mismatch!
The GIMP binary cannot run with a libgimp version
other than its own. This is GIMP 2.10.12, but the
libgimp version is 2.10.10.
Maybe you have GIMP versions in both /usr and /usr/local
I don't have 2 versions. All the gimp libraries (not symlinks) are like this <libgimp-2.0.so.0.1000.10>. The gimp version is
Code:
bash-5.0$ gimp --version
GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.10.12
Now I can and will revert to the current of April, because I still have that iso. This is a heads up for you guys.
EDIT: The version on the April version is identically named, but it works.
Code:
bash-5.0$ gimp --version
GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.10.10

I had the Gimp from the April ~Current. I did an upgradepkg (without the --reinstall or --install-new options) using the files in the July ~Current. To look at them, one would think they are the same package. But gimp --version from April reports version 2.10.10, whereas gimp from July reports gimp reports 2.10.12 :-/. The libraries from both appear identical. Was your source different? I'm on April's gimp now, and it's fine.
I exploded my package, and gimp's 2.10.12 libraries are correct. So either my iso copy, or more likely my install ended funny - how, I dunno. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. There's been a lot of shifting and moving here, repartitioning and compiling. I'm not inclined to compile, shift, and repartition at the same time but I'm blaming it on that.
