 any help ?



Which version of Ubuntu are you using? 8.10 has 2.6 included in it

If you are using 8.04, it is probably not possible to upgrade due to updated 
dependencies

 plan was to download the photographs of the area from Google Earth, put

 My question is, which is the best tool for this?  Or is there a better 
 way to do it than what I am describing?  Thanks for the help.


I think you need to work backwards from what is your intended use. 
Web, paper print?

So what size are the photographs from Google earth?

What I have done is simply scanned a road map/atlas at a fairly high 
resolution, added layers of 
routes and comments then resized to suit.

Resizing up doesn't always work real well.

Inkscape is good for making route profiles, you can stretch in both directions 
to give make the 
route look easy or hard :-)

So ldconfig as an executable is rightly placed in /sbin

Well, at a guess I would say that if it's not there it hasn't been built.

When you built it, did you read the configure output to see what was not

On Mon, 18 Apr 2005, Barton Bosch wrote:
 
 I've been meaning to take another shot at learning how to compile 
 the gimp from source for a while now.  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? 
 Are /opt and /home/.gimp-2.2 the only directories (besides the 
 untarred source directory) that need to be manually deleted?



If there is nothing else in /opt then you can do an rm -rf /opt/*

If there is someelse there the have a look in 
bin/  etc/  include/   lib/  man/   share/

and just rm -rf anything prefixed gimp-2.2

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.

Does your other Gimp work OK?

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

What I think might be happening is that your are using the /opt/bin/gimp
binary but loading the libraries from your other installation

If it installed and is working, don't worry about the latest and
greatest. Normally the Gimp team will tell you when an upgrade is
mandatory.


 
 I have not yet tried the yum update method recommended by Steve as running 
 configure with a different prefix did work. I visited Red Hat's website 
 page listing the gimp binaries once again but there are no 2.2.6 binaries 
 over there. May be the yum update method downloads the relevant sources to 
 your machine, analyzes all the dependencies and configure/make/make_installs 
 all the files over the Internet. Any comments?
 
 Is it safe to carry out a yum update exercise from root? Or, can I also do 
 it from a normal user account?


Sorry I have no idea about fedora, and presumeably yum update is an
automatic update procedure from Red Hat.

If Gimp is working now my gut feeling is to leave well alone. However my
guess yum updating libraries like GTK wont break your gimp.

OK, go to your gimp-2.2.6 directory

type ./configure --help and have a read, even it it means little

You will see how to install in another prefix, example

./configure --prefix=/opt   will configure so that it is built in /opt

When you press 'Enter' the program will start configuring.

If you are missing any dependencies, it will stop with an error message.

Read the error message and see if you can determine what is missing or out
of date. You may have newer rpms (or whatever fedora uses) that you can
use to upgrade. 

After you have all the dependencies, configure will run to the end. Then
you typemake 

When make is done, type   su -c 'make install' and that will install the
program in /opt

The executable will be /opt/bin/gimp (which will be symlinked to
/opt/bin/gimp-2.2)


If it doesn't work, you wont harm anything, so you have little to lose

 It seems that the pkg-config is getting inconsistent values for the

 How do I remove the old version of glib?

My first suggestion is to build the latest glib-2 from source with
prefix=/usr and see if that fixes your problem. Otherwise if you want to
get rid of all traces of glib-2.0 do this.

First, see what you have.

Do a  # cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
and a # cat /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc

That will tell you where the program is looking, eg in my case,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] opt]$ cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include

glib_genmarshal=glib-genmarshal
gobject_query=gobject-query
glib_mkenums=glib-mkenums

Name: GLib
Description: C Utility Library
Version: 2.4.6
Libs: -L${libdir} -lglib-2.0
Cflags: -I${includedir}/glib-2.0 -I${libdir}/glib-2.0/include


Next go to /usr/lib and find what might be relevant there

[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ ls|grep glib-2.0
glib-2.0/
libglib-2.0.a
libglib-2.0.la*
libglib-2.0.so@
libglib-2.0.so.0@
libglib-2.0.so.0.400.6*

You might feel inclined to #rm -rf libglib-2.0* and #rm -rf glib-2.0/


Then go to /usr/include and do the same thing, remove the glib-2.0
directory 

If you read the .pc file, you will see there are other elements to this
mystery,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] include]$ locate glib-mkenums
/usr/bin/glib-mkenums
/usr/share/man/man1/glib-mkenums.1.bz2
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/glib-mkenums.html
[EMAIL PROTECTED] include]$ locate gobject-query
/usr/bin/gobject-query
/usr/share/man/man1/gobject-query.1.bz2
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-query.html
[EMAIL PROTECTED] include]$ locate glib-genmarshal
/usr/bin/glib-genmarshal
/usr/share/man/man1/glib-genmarshal.1.bz2
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/glib-genmarshal.html

If you have come this far, you might as well remove those as well.

Then I suggest you repeat the same process with the /usr/local
installation.




In the end, go back and delete /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc and
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc


That in theory gets rid of all your glib-2.0 stuff. Nothing will work now
as this library is fairly fundamental, so make sure you are working in a
console and re-install glib-2.4.6, but as I said earlier, just build it
from source in the first place.


All the above is untested, and my gut feeling is that I would be up for a
complete rebuild if I did it.


Good luck

I am not sure what you want to do, but have you looked at Scribus (a DTP).
You can import/modify your Gimp work(with gimp) in that and do all the
prepress stuff.

  Just untar them and read the installation instructions in the file
  INSTALL.
 
 OK the instructions say run ./configure and ./configure fails because it 
 can't 
 find a file called gimp-2.0 pc. I searched my disks (several versions of Gimp 
 laying around) and no such file exists. The ./configure run also says:
 couldn't find a Gimp-2.0 installation. There are about three laying around. 
 
 So, back to my original question. Where should I try to untar the Gimp help 
 tarball? I don't want to muck up a functioning Gimp installation by untarring 
 them in the wrong location. 

You should have several gimp-2.0.pc files if you have several
installations. You will need to find them. Standard locations would be for
example;

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc
/opt/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc


Determine which gimp you want the help files to be associated with, eg the
one in say /usr/local

Then export your PKG_CONFIG_PATH

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

Now check it

pkg-config --modversion gimp-2.0

Then try installing your help

You don't to ask anyone, being an open source project, you can do it your
self

I found these files that had Lightness which you could try changing to
Brightness

gimpcolorizetool.c:  
gimphuesaturationtool.c:

Ah,

Just a simpletons understanding that 1.2 used gtk 1.2 and this last one

I don't think so.

If you plan in advance and call all your layers

Big_Layer
Small_layer
Green_Layer

etc

then you can extract the names from the file with the strings command

strings blah.xcf|grep ayer

Not much help or use, but it gets the names

You do not give many clues!

You are aware that 2.1.4 is a development version, and the README has
words to the effect All hell may break loose when installing this
program?

Did you build it in a different prefix to your Gimp-2.0.4. If you didn't,
then for sure all hell will break loose.

 Umm, that doesn't work real well if you need to move the selection by a
 reasonably large number of pixels, say 100 for example...


Shift + cursor gives moves of 25-30 pixels at a time, but I don't know
where that is set.

Re: [Gimp-user] Problem with GIMP or KDE?

 I'm having a little problem with GIMP 2.0.0 running on KDE.  I know
 there is a later version of GIMP but I think that this may just be a
 case of GIMP and KDE not interacting well and there may be a setting
 (probably in KDE) that will correct it.
 
 I use the rectangular selection tool in fixed aspect ration mode to
 select areas for cropping.  After I make the selection I sometimes need
 to move it slightly.  As the Alt key appears to be bound to the window
 manager I use Alt-Shift to allow me to drag the selection boundary.  I
 used to do this before with GIMP 1.2.3 on a previous KDE version with no
 trouble.  However it now causes the keyboard to go into a weird state
 where key presses cause a beep and do not register.  If you hold the key
 depressed for a little longer than usual it does register the key press
 and does not trigger key repeat unless you hold it even longer.


I have 2.0.2 , Mdk10 with the latest KDE and cannot replicate your
problem. However, I do have other problems with KDE and have now switched
to Icewm where all my problems have disappeared!

So I wonder if you try another window manager and see what happens?

I have found that when I got a lock up like you, my escape route was to
Alt+Ctrl+F8 which dropped me into a console. That at least allowed me to
continue some background processes thought iirc killall X and restart
didn't get me back(nor did Alt+F7), maybe do some experiments without your
dial-up connection.
