gimp: LibGimpBase-WARNING: gimp: gimp_wire_read(): error
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
I have successfully run the current GIMP with the latest Cairo, but I
don't have the latest PyCairo installed. Also, it seems to be linking to
python-3.8 on his system and not python-2.7, as far as I can tell based
off the error text.
Stuart, can you make sure that you've built PyCairo with GTK+-2 support
please? If using the existing instructions, make sure that you do this
instead (using PyCairo-1.18.2):
python2 setup.py build
(as root)
python2 setup.py install --optimize=1
For reference, the latest PyCairo (1.19.0) has removed support for
Python2 entirely, so there's a note on that page about building
pycairo-1.18.2 for Python2 and pycairo-1.19.0 for Python3.
