Google found various matches for things like this over the years. The most recent was because someone had installed some gimp-fu scripts for a much older version of gimp. I assume that is not the case for you ? A rather older post on reddit suggested that an incompatible version of cairo could cause this. We have moved to a development version of cairo, I forget the reason why but I suspect it might be the cause. I haven't made a new build with that version of cairo. So, has anyone sucessfully run current gimp with current cairo ? ĸen -- The politics of wizardry were either very simple, and resolved by someone ceasing to breathe, or as complex as one ball of yarn in a room with three bright-eyed little kittens. - Unseen Academicals -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
