Well, then good luck then. ;-)

Well, I am sorry Vittorio but I am not sure if you understand the
concept of the magic USE flag right.


Apparently I didn't understand that!


Let me put it this way: 1. Look into your /etc/make.conf
2. Check if the line starting with USE= contains the string "jpeg"

I now have a richer USE line in make.conf USE="-java -gnome jpeg tiff gimpprint"


3. Remove all occurences of "-jpeg" in that file
4. Run an "emerge -pvV gimp"
5. Does it now come up with "+jpeg" or "-jpeg" ???


With "+jpeg*"


6. And please forget that "echo $USE" stuff ;-)

Wrongly I had put the above USE line in a file under /etc/env.d to be executed as an environmental variable. My mistake! Thanks for shedding a light on it!!


Tomorrow I'll have another compilation of the Gimp.

Perhaps I'm somewhat slow or I don't understand how to use emerge
correctly but ... as I stated my USE :
---------------------------------------------
# echo $USE
-java -gnome kde dvd cdr alsa jpeg tiff jpeg tiff gimpprint
---------------------------------------------

*** contains *** the jpeg (and tiff and gimpprint) flag.

Therefore, in a nutshell, I don't understand where I am wrong according
to you.

Again: perform an
emerge -pvV gimp

It should come up with something like:


These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/gimp-2.0.4  +aalib (-altivec) -debug -doc
gimpprint* +jpeg +mmx* -mng* +png +python +sse* -svg* +tiff -wmf*


Notice the "+jpeg" flag. If you have "-jpeg" then run

USE="jpeg" emerge gimp

exactly as stated here.

I didn't succeed!

I had a go with:

# echo $USE
-java -gnome kde dvd cdr alsa jpeg tiff jpeg tiff gimpprint

# emerge unmerge gimp                 To be on the safe side!!!
# emerge -b gimp

BUT I'm still unable to open a jpg file (of the hundreds I used to work
with!!) under the Gimp (unknown file)!

Please help

Vittorio

Look at the output of "emerge -pvV gimp". You'll notice that it uses
the jpeg flag. So either perform

USE="jpeg" emerge gimp

or add "jpeg" to your USE flags in /etc/make.conf and emerge Gimp
again.

Dear All,

I compiled gimp 2.0.4 from the latest stage1 but it doesn't support
jpeg files requiring an extra library.
Therefore I've just compiled the media-libs/jpeg library from stage1
but gimp is still unable to open jpeg files.

What else should I compile?

Thanks

Vittorio
