[Gimp-user] No JPG recognized on one host: 2.2.8
This has me completely baffled. We run Slackware-10.1 on all hosts; each had a copy of gimp-2.2.8 installed from the same package. On all but one laptop, there is no problem opening and working with .jpg files. On this one host, .hrz, .ico, and .jpg files are not recognized and not available in the file type list. I've removed and reinstalled the application, and moved ~/.gimp-2.2/ to another name so it is regenerated when the application is invoked. No difference in behavior: it will not accept .jpg as a valid file type. ImageMagick's 'display' has no problem with them. When I searched google for this problem I found a reference to a missing library on freeBSD. On the host here, /usr/lib/libjpeg* are all present. Suggestions and solutions greatly appreciated.

Are the relevant plug-ins really installed and executable by the user? Have you tried running the plug-ins directly?

Mark, Thank you, that's exactly what it was. How that library went missing on that box is beyond my knowledge. But, that was the missing file. It did not fix the missing .hrz or .ico filetypes, but those won't be missed at all. Rich -- Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President | Author of Quantifying Environmental Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.
