[Gimp-user] install Gimp help

2008-08-20 Thread J.W.J. Geenen

Hi,


here is my
path: /Applications/Gimp-2.4.6/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/Share/ 
gimp/2.0/

There is no help folder in 2.0. I made such a help folder and then a
moved the two help files into this folder.



The two help files? For context-sensitive help you need the HTML version
of the manual. This package has several hundred files.





I have downloaded The Gimp user manual but that is not what I needed.
I have several questions to this object.
Q1. what is the exact name and url that I must install
Q2. where are the files of the Gimp user manual located in the Gimp  
application

Q3. why do I not see the help folders which I made by hand

I searched and found a gimp-help-2.4.0.tar.bz2 version. Is that what  
I needed?

 I downloaded the help documentation from darwingimp and tried to
 install it but  it is impossible to install this version.
 The following message is what I get.

 You cannot install Gimp-help on this volume. Please make sure, that
 you have Gimp.app installed in the Applications Folder.

Perhaps ask for help in the user forum on the darwingimp page? The

GIMP looks for the help files in the folder $prefix/share/gimp/2.0/help.

I can't tell you what $prefix is for your system. Perhaps just look for
the system-wide GIMP brushes folder, then place the help files in the
same place.

Isn't there a help package for the Mac with an installer that takes care
of this? http://darwingimp.sourceforge.net/download.html seems to have
one.

[Gimp-user] Install Gimp help files.

2007-01-31 Thread John R. Culleton
I unzipped and untarred the help files. I ran ./configure in that directory. 
When I ran make I got a slew of messages of the form:

I/O error : Attempt to load network entity 
http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd
../src/appendix/bugs.xml:3: warning: failed to load external 
entity http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd;
  http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd;

...and of course no usable help files. 

It would be nice if the help files were integral to the Gimp distribution. 
Perhaps that is too simplistic. I have Slackware Linux 11.

Your docbook xsl setup is incomplete or broken.

Perhaps you should consider using a distribution then that packages the
help files for you. Building them from the source is definitely not
trivial and it is not something that a user should have to deal with.
That's why a reasonable Linux distribution does this for you.

I installed the GimpShop rpm from a link on the page below and it worked for 
my Mandrake 10.1 system. It's uses Gimp version 2.2.4.

http://plasticbugs.com/index.php?p=241

It's a hacked version of Gimp but seems to have all of the functionality and 
new features of Gimp. Just enter gimp to start it.

You write that you have an Mandrake, and downloaded for Fedora.
Normally it's recommended to pick a package for the distribution.

what version of Mandrake Linux?

I had posted to this list a detailed explanation of how to build the 
GIMP forMa\ndrake 10.0 - I suppose you are on 10.1 - but that 
expanatio n would work fine for 10.1 and the newer GIMP - (of course, 
yu'd need newer versions of all the packages and apps listed).

Alternatviely, you can search for an RPM for Mandrake 10.1 - thre 
should be one somewhere.

i read the pkg-config manpage:

2.4.8

then i confirmed where i thought it should be:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib*
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc  /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib.pc

then i confirmed where it is not:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /usr/local/lib/glib*
ls: /usr/local/lib/glib*: No such file or directory

i dont know the reason it works for me and not for you.  perhaps at this
point it is good to ask what your distribution is and what version of it
you are running.

have you built other things?  you might need to install the -dev version
of glib also.  actually, it would be very good to know if you have
successfully built other software.

Have you considered just uninstalling Gimp, downloading Gimp from the web 
site and installing it yourself?  This means stepping out of the world of 
RPMs but that is not a fatal thing.  You can unzip and untar the 
downloaded file with one command tar zxvf  (name of file.) Then follow the

Frequently it is easier to sidestep a complex problem as opposed to

Re: [Gimp-user] install probs

You could also grab a new rpm from a mandrake contrib repository - 
there probably could be something more up to date for mandrake 10.0

But that won't give you GIMP2.2 anyway, neither will upgrading 
toMandrake 10.1. 
But building the GIMP from CVS on a mandrake 10.0 is not an authomatic 
task, but not too hard. Just try the ./configure scripts, note down 
what it says is missing, and install from most recent stable tarball, 
each required software (or from rpm, if there is a compatible version 
of said package) - the nice side of this is taht once you have 
everything in place, you can always easily build the latest GIMP.

Winton,
I'm no Mandrake expert by any means, but this error sounds like you are 
missing some needed GTK+ files.  I suspect MDK 10 only installed the 
Gnome files needed to run most programs, but didn't some that Gimp 
needed.  Just a guess, not certain.  I would think when trying to 
install, it would give you more details though.  What you might try is 
to install the rpm from a shell with:  
rpm -Uhv gimp-2.0.0-richard.1mdk.i586.rpm

If there are unmet dependencies or conflicts, they will show there.

 Tried the rpm from Mandrake cooker site, and get this error message.

 Some package requested cannot be installed:
 gimp2_0-2.0.1-1mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libgimpwidgets-2.0.so.0)
 do you agree ?

 As I am unsatisfied most of the time I had to agree :-)
 What is a  libgimpwidget?,  which ones do I need?, where would I get
 them?, and if I can get them, what do I do with them? (without being
 rude :-)  )  Sorry I am a rank beginner here.


 Any helpfull suggestions would be most gratefully accepted.

 Many thanks in advance,
 Take Care
 Winton

libgimpwidget is actually part of the Gimp rpm file.  You can find this 
out by doing:  rpm -q --whatprovides (name of file)
This of course will only work if the file is installed on your system, 
otherwise you can view the files in the rpm with programs like Midnight 
Commander or Kpackage.

Patrick

 That's the reason that gimp-2.1 cannot be installed into the same

 restate it and suggest a quicker fix like a few others i have seen.

No, it isn't, there is no naming problem. Everything including the

[Gimp-user] Install Gimp 2.0

2004-05-17 Thread Squareyes
Hi all,
I have been watching this list since early March this year and have to
admit am getting more confused by the day.
I have been using The Gimp to edit my digital photo's (version 1.2.3 
which I am very impressed with, very logical to use)
and have been watching the list talking about Gimp 2. and would like to 
try it.
I am afraid I have no hope of ever compiling it, so have downloaded a 
series of rpm's from Xach. I have a couple of questions.
1. Am using Mandrake 9.1, and will use rpmdrake, will these Rpm's be 
suitable for it?
2. If they are suitable, is there any particular order I should install 
them in?
3. Do I need to install the Rpm's marked as devel. e.g. 
atk-devel-1.6.0-1.i386.rpm ?
4. Do I need to remove any files relating to the version I am now using?
I have read on this list that the 2 versions will co-exist.

Thanks for your patience, we beginners must be a trial to you all, am 
afraid my brain is getting too old to learn too many new tricks, but am 
still trying.
Take Care
Winton

The list of Rpm's I downloaded from Xach are listed below.
atk-1.6.0-1.i386.rpm (142.4)
atk-devel-1.6.0-1.i386.rpm(86.1K)
autoconf-2.59-3.noarch.rpm (627.6K)

Good luck :)
1. Am using Mandrake 9.1, and will use rpmdrake, will these Rpm's be 
suitable for it?
I'm not sure.
2. If they are suitable, is there any particular order I should install 
them in?
I know when I was running an RPM based system, I used to try to install 
the last one first, get the list of dependencies, and install them in 
order until things worked. That's not an optimal solution :)

The approximate order of installation should be
glib
atk
fontconfig
pango
gtk
gimp
gimp-docs
3. Do I need to install the Rpm's marked as devel. e.g. 
atk-devel-1.6.0-1.i386.rpm ?
Not unless you plan on compiling the GIMP from source. Nor do you need 
automake or autoconf, unless you plan to build from CVS.

4. Do I need to remove any files relating to the version I am now using?
I have read on this list that the 2 versions will co-exist.
You don't need to remove anything. It is possible that your packaging 
system won't like having 2 versions of the GIMP installed, but IIRC 
there is a way to force RPM to install a new copy alongside the old one, 
rather than have it replace it.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Dave.

I think the RPMs provided by Xach is for Red Hat Linux 9 only.

 2. If they are suitable, is there any particular order I should install 
 them in?

If I recall correctly you can just put all the RPMs in one directory and
do rpm -Uvh *.rpm. The installation order will then be determined by
the internal dependencies.

 3. Do I need to install the Rpm's marked as devel. e.g. 
 atk-devel-1.6.0-1.i386.rpm ?

You only need to install the -devel RPMs if you intend to compile
anything against the installed libraries.

 4. Do I need to remove any files relating to the version I am now using?
 I have read on this list that the 2 versions will co-exist.

GIMP 1.2.x and 2.0.x will happily co-exist.

Brix

 as will gimp-1.0 and gimp-1.1 and gimp-1.3 exist with gimp-1.2 and
 gimp-2.0, if you are like me and have little things from all of them
 that you want and a big enough hard drive and distribution that
 actually works on your computer.
 
 this is not the case with gimp-2.1 and that nice list.  can someone
 remind me of the logic of this (i assume) temporary condition?  the
 developers i came to respect went out of their way to avoid this.

gimp-2.1, which is supposed to become gimp-2.2, will be compatible
with gimp-2.0 so there is no point in having the two versions
installed side-by-side. When gimp-2.2 is ready it will happily replace
gimp-2.0 and plug-ins compiled for gimp-2.0 will continue to work.

That's the reason that gimp-2.1 cannot be installed into the same
prefix as gimp-2.0. It's supposed to replace it. Currently there's the
temporary condition that gimp-2.1 installs quite some things into
directories versioned as 2.1. This is supposed to be changed back to
2.0 when gimp-2.2 is ready.

Re: [Gimp-user] install and use gimp without X

2001-05-15 Thread Jonathan E. Paton

I assume you have a network, and another box with the X
Window System.

The best solution I can think of is to telnet (or shh) to
the server, and run the install.  This should open the
install window on the host you are working from.  However
you may be slightly hampered by security measures or the
lack of information I can provide at the moment.

 Is it possible to finish the installation of gimp without X (without

 Is it possible to lanch gimp script-fu server without X ?

Yes it is. You'll need the virtual framebuffer installed and running.
