[Gimp-user] Install Gimp 2.0
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) automake-1.8.3-1.noarch.rpm (477.3K) fontconfig-2.2.1-8.1.i386.rpm (113.0K) fontconfig-devel-2.2.1-8.1.i386.rpm (231.4K) gimp-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm (9.2M) gimp-devel-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm (66.1K) gimp-docs-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm (442.7K) glib2-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm (465.1K) glib2-devel-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm (875.8K) gtk2-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm (4.0M) gtk2-devel-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm (1.9M) pango-1.4.0-1.i386.rpm (263.7K) pango-devel-1.4.0-1.i386.rpm (156.5) ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

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. -- Dave Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi, Richard McCormick [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I did download the main GIMP 2.01 tar.gz and in the install notes it says there are about 7 other files I need to download and install the following files: [snip] That's just nuts. I guess I will have to wait untill someone actually takes the time to build an RPM for Mandrake, I just don't have the sort of patience. Right, that's also what INSTALL suggests. Unless you are experienced with building software from scratch, you shouldn't try to get GIMP's dependencies built from source. Actually you should even try to avoid building GIMP from source. It's bad enough that Linux doesn't have much to offer in the way of graphic apps that can do high end professional work but to have one of the only ones so hard to 'put together' I can't deal with that right now. I'm impressed with Mandrake 10 so far but graphics are one of the main things I do on a computer, so I guess it's back to Windows, not really complaining, I just don't get too upset much any more. Maybe in another 5 or 10 years this OS will win me over but in the mean time I have work to do, over in Windows! Well, Mandrake appears to be the only major Linux distribution that is not yet offering a convenient way to install GIMP 2.0. So perhaps instead of complaining, consider to use a different distribution. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

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.

I'm not sure why you'd want to do that - I always thought the GIMP 1.2 was pretty bleak... I'm considering making my own theme. If I do, I would like to use the Gimp 1.2 icons as a starting point because they are simpler and in a way they are clearer. If it doesn't already exist, I will end up making a gimp 1.2 theme along the way. But you're free to have a go. The icons from 1.2 are in XBM format embedded in the source in app/pixmaps.h and app/pixmaps2.h - the icon for the color picker, for example, is in app/pixmaps2.h from lines 162 to 188 - you can load this with the old ico plug-in too (it's the old-format GIMP Icon format, which is essentially the same as XBM). I'm familar enough with the format, that part wouldn't be a problem. At the moment it is just an idea though. - Alan ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi, Carol Spears [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: GIMP 1.2.x and 2.0.x will happily co-exist. 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. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
