I have recently switched from Ubuntu to Mac and am having some trouble getting GIMP working the way I need. I use pygimp and a Wacom tablet to create a sort of digital white board when I teach. I use my pygimp code to correctly number each slide as I lecture so that the slides are useful to the students for review when I am done. Here is an example if you are curious:
http://www.cs.siue.edu/~rkrauss/450/2013/lectures/03_22_13/index.html I am using Python 2.7 for scipy, numpy, and other packages installed using homebrew and pip. I am having a hard time getting GIMP installed in OS X 10.8 that supports both Python 2.7 and pressure sensitivity. I have tried two approaches. I downloaded a binary from here: Download GIMP 2.8 <http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html> on the gimp.org/downloads page. It runs natively on OS X (i.e. not using X11) and it works perfectly with pressure sensitivity on my Wacom tablet. The only problem is that it seems to ship with Python 2.6, which is a bit dated and not compatible with my other Python packages. I also tried to build and install from source. I have tried this two ways. The first was through homebrew. I am able to compile correctly and it uses Python 2.7, but for reasons I don't understand, it seems to build an X11 version. Again for reasons I don't understand, pressure sensitivity does not work when I build this way. The pen and tablet under the extended input configuration are greyed out. They are set correctly, but the settings don't seem to be respected. I have also tried to just use homebrew to install the dependencies and then build GIMP myself in other directory. This keeps getting hung up on trying to build a test GTK+ file that fails because it can't find gtk.h. gtk.h is in a homebrew Cellar folder and I don't seem to be able to point the configure script to it correctly. So, can someone point me to the best solution. If a binary of GIMP 2.8 linked to Python 2.7 could easily be made available, that would be great. If someone can help me build a version of GIMP 2.8 that runs natively using the Python from homebrew, that would also work. I don't even mind setting up my own thing and compiling outside of homebrew, but I would prefer to avoid installing all the dependencies myself if possible. I would prefer to have GIMP run natively rather than through X11, but if Python 2.7 and pressure sensitivity both worked, I would be OK with that. Thanks, Ryan
