Something is wrong with your gimp-perl installation. Instead of exec'ing
gimp (the path is in $Gimp::Config{GIMP}, so you should look at your
Gimp::Config module which is autogenerated) it tries to exec .

Maybe you need a newer version of gimp-perl (I don't know).


That is definitely the culprit.  In Config.pm, the GIMP variable is being 
set to  (perhaps something to do with gimp now being a symlink to 
gimp-2.2?).  I manually set that to /usr/local/bin/gimp and I get further.


I'm getting some other errors/warnings now:
Subroutine Gimp::gimp_palette_set_foreground redefined at 
/usr/lib64/perl5/sit

perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Gimp.pm line 603.
Subroutine Gimp::gimp_selection_all redefined at 
/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.

6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Gimp.pm line 603.

but I think I might be able to figure things out from here on..

The version of gimp-perl was Gimp-2.0.tar.gz obtained from 
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/plug-ins/v2.0/perl/


Is there a newer version out there?

Thanks again,

  - Erik

[Gimp-developer] problem executing perl script from command line using gimp 2.2

2005-07-06 Thread Erik Olson 
I have a perl-fu script I've used in various forms over the years to 
automatically burn a copyright string into a photograph.  I hacked it from 
the tutorial on the gimp.org pages.  I call it from the command line with 
arguments like burnit.pl -words Hi there -file foo.jpg, which in turn 
is called from a database-backed program generating the images when 
needed.  It's worked pretty nice; I've only modified it a couple times, 
most notably last year when I upgraded my system to gimp 2.0.


Unfortunately, this year as I have upgraded to 2.2 I find that I can no 
longer execute the script at all.  I get the ubiquotous protocol error 
(1) message:


 [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ./burnit.pl -v -words Hi there -file ~/duo.jpg

I've been combing the list archives all night trying to find an answer. 
This is definitely not an issue of not having X running properly, as I 
have a display running.  I can even run the script from WITHIN gimp, just 
not from the commandline.  I've tried ripping out the gimp rpm that came 
with Fedora Core 4, recompiled gimp 2.2 from source, re-installed 
gimp-perl (and its dependencies perl-Gtk2 and perl-Glib).  Same result. 
Got me worrying that it might not just be my system.


I tried to recompile gimp 2.0, but it seems not to be so happy with 
gcc 4.0.  I tried to convert the script to python, but I cannot find a way 
to run a python script directly from the command line either.  When I add 
the directory with gimpfu.py to the python libpath, I get the nice error 
that the script can only be run from inside the gimp.  Another dead end?


OK, next I tried the opposite approach of seeing what it would take to 
batch it from the gimp, a la http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ 
but again, I cannot find an example anywhere that tells how to do this 
with anything written in perl, just scheme.  I suppose my final step is 
going to be to learn scheme and convert the script yet again.


But first I figured I'd post, since maybe someone might have some insight 
into why that perl interface has suddenly gone south on me...


Thanks!
