After installing Gimp 2.6.4 (plus gimp-data & libgimp),
Gimp was basically working, but as soon as I tried to
use any function from the 'Colors' submenu, Gimp closed
immediately, and with the same error message regarding
gimpbase. As my last resort, I tried to compile 2.6.4,
but here I ran into other problems: libraries that definitely
ARE installed are reported to be missing. So I did what
.configure recommended and used ./configure --disable-python
--without-libtiff. This time, all the Makefiles were created,
yet at the end I got the following:
Building GIMP with prefix=/usr/share/gimp/2.6.4, datarootdir=${prefix}/share
Desktop files install into ${datarootdir}
Extra Binaries:
gimp-console: yes
gimp-remote: no (not enabled)
Optional Features:
D-Bus service: no
Language selection: yes
Optional Plug-Ins:
Ascii Art: no (AA library not found)
Help Browser: no (WebKit not found)
LCMS: no (lcms not found or unusable)
JPEG: yes
MNG: no (MNG header file not found)
PDF: Using PostScript plug-in (libpoppler not found)

Windows ICO yes
WMF: no (libwmf not found)
XJT: yes
XPM: no (XPM library not found)
Plug-In Features:
EXIF support: no (libexif not found or too old)
GNOME UI: no (libgnomeui-2.0 not found)
GNOME keyring: no (gnome-keyring-1 not found)
Optional Modules:
ALSA (MIDI Input): no (libasound not found or unusable)
Linux Input: yes (HAL support: no)
DirectInput (Win32): no
Color Correction: no (lcms not found or unusable)
Soft Proof: no (lcms not found or unusable)
libpoppler IS there, as are librsvg, libexif, and libgnomeui-2.0
(I didn't check the rest). Does anyone know what's the matter here?
I downloaded the source from the FTP site (the link is included on
the Download page at gimp.org).
TIA,
Claus
