There is no version of GEGL that matches a given version of GIMP. GEGL is a library with an API (currently somewhat unstable due to immatureness of the library, but this is beside the point) that is independent of GIMP. Distributing GEGL in GIMP would imply that GEGL can not be bugfixed as maintainted separately, and this is wrong. If e.g. Slackware can prepackage Gimp with all the required libraries it seems to me that the Gimp folks could do the same.

(1) Is the library/package complained of on your system or not? (2) If it is, have you got the development package? - you'll need it. Check with your package manager or look for files on your system (typically in /usr) named name of package-devel: without it you can't proceed with compilation. If you haven't, get the development package from somewhere (installation disk, upgrading resource, or Googling for the tarball if necessary. (3) If you have, where are the libraries for that package installed? commonly /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, but may be /usr/lib64 or more outlandish places - Find File or equivalent is your friend. (4) use echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH to see where compilation is going to be looking for external programs - assuming you haven't resolved the problem already by this stage, the libaries you need will be in none of those places. (5) Use Find File for folders named pkgconfig or files ending in .pc(no quotes). You'll find quite a number. You should be able to recognise the relevant .pc file for your package amongst the names in the list. Note which folder it's in, e.g. /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.2/lib/pkgconfig (to quote a genuine outlandish example) (6) Then use the export PKG_CONFIG_PATH before configuring, i.e. export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.2/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH (This adds the new path to existing ones. Note: as a general rule *don't* use export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/non_standard/directory/lib/pkgconfig or you'll completely replace the existing path for this session. You may need the existing path for other progs in the compilation). /configure make (then as root) make install HTH Doug ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You have to download, compile (?) and install the latest versions of babl and gegl. It is a royal pain but once it is done you are set for several upgrades, until Gimp requires a newer version. IMO these required libraries should be embedded in the Gimp release itself but there may be turf issues that prevent that. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus/e-book $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You don't say what you are using as an OS, but what you are missing in my mind, are the development files for gegl and babl if you built babl and gegl from scratch, no problems, but sounds like you might be using Ubuntu or fedora. So look in you package manager for things like gegl-dev and babl-dev If you built babl and gegl in some non standard directory, you need to tell the system where to find them, hence; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/non_standard/directory/lib/pkgconfig hth I am using Centos 5.3 -- Greg S.
