(SOLVED) Problems installing 64-current gimp.


After some strange adventures installing Virtualbox, involving installing multilib, I wanted to use GIMP. I got a message:

Code:
Liblcms2 version mismatch!

GIMP was compiled against LittleCMS version 2.0, but the LittleCMS version found at runtime is only 2.9.

Somehow you or your software packager managed to install a LittleCMS that is older than what GIMP was built against.

Please make sure that the installed LittleCMS version is at least 2.0 and that headers and library match.
pkg-config indeed reports version 2.9, but I don't understand the sentence 'but the LittleCMS version found at runtime is *only* 2.9'. Isn't 2.9 more than 2.0? ldd gimp reports it requires version 2 - no subversion. Shouldn't this work?

Update: Just downloaded the slackware package for gimp 10.24 (vs version 10.20 above), and now I get:

Code:
GIMP was compiled against LittleCMS version 2.2, but the
LittleCMS version found at runtime is only 2.9.

Somehow you or your software packager managed
to install a LittleCMS that is older than what GIMP was
built against.

Please make sure that the installed LittleCMS version
is at least 2.2 and that headers and library match.
So, still the same problem...

As you say, the error message doesn't make sense.
BUT the latest lcms2 version in -current is 2.12, whích was also rebuilt against glibc-2.33 in February (together with a lot of packages, including gimp).

A full upgrade of your -current install will probably solve your problem.

Version confusion

Ok... Found an explanation for this issue. Apparently the macro which compared the version strings
discarded the second digit ('tens') of the version, so 2.x2 was compared as 2.2 with the installed
2.9 version; as such 2.12 was older than 2.9...

As soon as I installed 2.12, things started working again (probably now compared 2.12 with 2.12
as 2.2 with 2.2 and as such was satisfied that they were equal. As far as I can see, the macro wasn't
changed yet.
