 To all who downloaded Chapter 5 of my book from No Starch's website:
 
 I generated the original PDF using pdflatex on my Linux (Ubuntu 12.04)

 the PDF. Anyway, on my own computer I can look at this file using
 Evince, Okular, Document Viewer, PDF Mod, GIMP itself, and even Adobe
 Reader 9, without any problem. I did not try reading it directly from
 any browser. I did not try reading it from any version of Windows.

Small wonder I'm the only one who hit a snag.

Ironically, the only thing I found that would make the PDF readable
here, was to import it into the GIMP.  I found a script to export
the layers as images, and used Imagemagick to make them into a PDF
for convenient reading.  (Ironic?)  BTW that script rocks:

Scribus is not a PDF editor but it can open and edit PDF files.
1.4 version is not so good at it, but its 1.5 svn version did a perfect job
on the Gimp Book.

In case you need some such tool some time...

I have bought the eBook, and had difficulties reading it in using 
Okular, so I had to go the hard way, and install/use Adobe reader - it 
works perfect. And yes - I'm on Linux/Suse

[Gimp-user] Compile GIMPv2.9.1 for Debian (Wheezy/Sid)

2013-01-26 Thread studiojunkyard
I recently compiled v2.9.1 GIMP on Debian (Wheezy/Sid), this is for Debian
itself, not modified Debian Distro's (such as Ubuntu), though the instructions
may work, I'm not responsible for breaking your system:

As root in a terminal do as below:

apt-get install libjpeg8-dev libopenexr-dev libopenraw-dev libcairo2-dev
librsvg2-dev automake autoconf intltool pkg-config liblua5.1-0-dev gtk-doc-tools
libtiff5-dev python-gtk2-dev libasound2-dev libgimp2.0 libgimp2.0-dev

apt-get remove --purge libgegl-0.1-0 libgegl-0.2-0 libgegl-dev libbabl-0.1-0
libbabl-dev gimp

mkdir /home/{usr}/gimp
cd /home/{usr}/gimp

git clone git://git.gnome.org/babl
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gegl
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gimp

[babl]
./autogen.sh
make
make install

[gegl]
./autogen.sh
make
make install

[gimp]
./autogen.sh
make
make install

For some reason, we had to do a complete remove of libgimp2.0, then reinstall it
for GIMP to work, even though the -dev for it needs to be available to compile.

We also found, that if you previously had GIMP installed using the already
present Menu Option will run the 2.9.1 version. Or, alternatively, and I
recommened for first time run, do as below, so if GIMP doesn't open or crashes
you can see why.

/usr/local/bin/gimp-2.9

Enjoy.

 Thank you very much.

Hey Thomas,

You are more than welcome!  I hope you keep tinkering with the
GIMP, it's one of the more cool toys I know of.  And if you got
paid for the job you asked about, you now have 'professional'
experience.

:o)
