I'm running FC2 which has rpms available for almost all of the requirements and optional packages. Unfortunately the atk rpm is version 1.6.0 (www.gimp.org/source lists 1.6.1 as required) and the fontconfig rpm is 2.2.1-10 (2.2.2 required). Seeing how these are quite close and as you mentioned the parallel /opt configure method, I went ahead and ./configure, make and make installed. Gimp 2.2.6 did compile without error messages but didn't function properly. After opening a few jpgs and cropping them, it saved the first immediately without opening the jpg options dialog, and on the second and subsequent attempts to save jpgs it hung (though it did respond to the close button as opposed to requiring a killall -HUP gimp). So, two main questions: 1) is there a way to compile atk and fontconfig in parallel to the already installed rpms (as the gimp 2.2.6 was) and then pass a configure option or edit a script to have gimp use the new versions?; and, 2) when it became necessary to uninstall the faulty 2.2.6 I found that make clean from the source directory tried to erase files from /usr/local/ rather than /opt where gimp 2.2.6 was actually installed -- is there a way to pass an option to make clean to tell it to remove the gimp from /opt?

(I _strongly_ suggest to also do a yum update gtk2*) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user I recommend you download the alternative yum.conf file from fedorafaq.org to get access to some of the faster and better maintained repositories, if you haven't already. If these fail to include an rpm you want, there are a number of rpm databases that can be searched for binaries in other repositories (rpmfind.net, nrpms.net and rpm.pbone.net are a few). Best of all though, do a google search and you'll almost certainly find your package if it exists. In order to do an effective search you'll need to understand the nomencalture of an rpm, but just looking at the names of the files should show you what you need to search for (ie. gimp-2.2.6 .fc3 .rpm). If you can't find an rpm for a popular app like the GIMP, wait around for a couple of days. One's bound to be put out eventually. Anyway, I found an rpm here: http://www.nrpms.net/Packages/fedora-3-i386/production/gimp.html You can try installing it by downloading it to a local directory and typing rpm -ivh path/to/filename.rpm at the console. If it throws up dependancy issues and there aren't too many then download those and try again. Try and get them from the standard repos if you can (yum install dependancy). Failing that, you can download all the dependancies to your local folder and then add some instructions to the yum.conf file to include it as a repository. You should be able to work out how to do this by studying the contents of that file, it's not very difficult to understand. (Do yourself a favour and back it up before you start editing it, though. Just in case accidentally delete something you didn't want to.) Once you've done this, typing yum update gimp should install the rpm and resolve dependancies for you. You should see the local directory be mentioned in the list of searched repositories if you edited the yum.conf file correctly. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

[Gimp-user] Help with Installing Xenofex 2 or finding eqivalent GIMP plugins
Hello: I am a brand-new user to GIMP (version 2.2) and I am coming over from Photoshop CS (8) on the Macintosh Platform (MacOS X version 10.3.9 and soon enough 10.4)... The main issue I am having switching over is that my plugin suite from AlienSkin (Xenofex 2) has a couple of plugins that I am VERY fond of, Rip Open being one of them. I so far, have had no success in finding a native plugin for GIMP. Is it possible to install this suite on GIMP 2.2? If so I need some good directions. Otherwise, an equivalent plugin and where to get it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, -- J.

There will/should also be files called gimp-2.0.pc
gimpui-2.0.pc and gimpthumb-2.0.pc You better find out where these are as
if you had two Gimps installed you might be in big trouble as where your
gimp-2.2.6 was looking for things.
Ok, these files were missing when I first checked but may have been
part of the gimp-devel rpm which I did not have installed at the
time. My gimp 2.0.5 rpm installation seemed to be working fine but
just for the hell of it, I uninstalled and then reinstalled both
gimp and gimp-devel 2.0.5. Then I found the gimp*.pc files in
/usr/lib/pkgconfig.
Have a look there and see if you can psyche out the gimp-2.0.pc matter and
search paths. Look back in these archives I think for where you should set
the LD_LIBRARY PATH
The /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc file shows:
libdir=/usr/lib
...
gimplibdir=/usr/lib/gimp/2.0
...
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgimp-2.0 -lgimpmath-2.0 -lgimpcolor-2.0
-lgimpbase-2.0
whereas /opt/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc is the same, but with
everything preceded by {prefix} (which is set to /opt), e.g.:
prefix=/opt
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
What I think might be happening is that your are using the /opt/bin/gimp
binary but loading the libraries from your other installation
So it seems that this is being set up correctly by ./configure. In
running through this again to verify everything before this post to
the list, I happened to do the initial run of /opt/bin/gimp-2.2 from
the root terminal window that I compiled and installed from rather
than from a regular user term. I vaguely remember something like
gimp 1.2 needing to be run once as root before regular users could
run it.
Could the fact that I did not do this last time have caused the
malfunctions? Additionally, for this installation I chose not to
migrate my user settings and just clicked through all of the user
customization options on default. In a brief test I seem to have a
functional gimp-2.2.6, or at least have shed the problems that I was
experiencing with the prior installation attempt.
When I get more time I'll do a more thorough test run, thanks for
the help.
BTW, if I were to experience problems related to an obsolete atk or
fontconfig, how would they be likely to manifest themselves?

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.2.6 on Fedora Core 3
Hi Barton I went through the INSTALL file in 2.2.6's tar.gz and there I found the following text! Please make sure you don't have any old GTK+-2.x, jpeg, etc. libraries lying around on your system, otherwise configure may fail to find the new ones. Only after reading all the tech stuff (and the above) there did I post to the list. Gimp2.2.6 install worked and Gimp also seems to be working fine. However, I will now really do some tests (including the scenarios you mentioned) to make sure the Gimp did install OK. I really want to know how the scenario quoted above can be prevented as downloading all the dependencies is not a problem - the real problem is the potential conflict between the old and the new files.
