Re: [Gimp-user] Re: GIMP 2.0.1 and Fedora Core 1
What are people's experiences re: GIMP 2.x and FC1? Is it the same nightmare of rebuilding gtk2? Or is it better than rh 9? I tried it. There are 79 packages involed. If you are not an expert do not try it. If you are running RH9 or FC1 you can upgrade to FC2. If you want the simple easy answer just upgrade to fc2. It comes with version 2.0 of gimp. John Hi guys, It's possible that i'm just a lucky person, but it was no nightmare installing GIMP 2.0.1 on FC1. It complained about aalib, lcms and libexif, which i needed to install, but after that, i was able to upgrade with only rpm commands. There were some dependency issues but nothing serious.

It comes with version 2.0 of gimp. i counted 5 packages to build gimp (from cvs), 4 required packages (pango, pkgconfig, libart2, gtk2), 8 third party libraries in the recommended list. some addition suggestions are made from running configure. this equals 17 and this count needs more build tools than you would if you were making it from a tarball. 79 - 17 = 62. 62 additional packages are needed by pango, pkgconfig, libart2, gtk2 and fedora? i know pango needs freetype2 and gtk needs atk and glib. i think it is seriously time to check the reasons that fedora needs so much on your computer to work. i really watched these guys try not to add dependencies like this. is there a way for fedora to show this list of dependencies. i am in the mood to count things Hi guys, It's possible that i'm just a lucky person, but it was no nightmare installing GIMP 2.0.1 on FC1. It complained about aalib, lcms and libexif, which i needed to install, but after that, i was able to upgrade with only rpm commands. There were some dependency issues but nothing serious. this application should be able to build without these libraries. i know that aalib is an option and the gimp should build fine without this. do you have a working pygimp? carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It comes with version 2.0 of gimp. I have only done a bit of checking into the newer distros, but isn't FC2 a 64 bit OS? That would make it incompatible with my PIII 550, correct? Don't start spreading FUD. From http://fedora.redhat.com Fedora Core 2 is now available from Red Hat and at distinguished mirror sites near you, and is also available in the torrent. Fedora Core has expanded in this release to four binary ISO images and four source ISO images, and is available for both x86-64 and i386. ^^ On a related note, would that mean that when FC1 hits its EOL date (if it hasn't already) that there will be no more official updates or security fixes for redhat based x86 operating systems? If there is an EOL for the Fedoras, it might be possible that no more updates for older versions will be available - I don't know, I neither did use nor do I plan to use Redhat or Fedora. But your general statement about discontinuing support for redhat based x86 operating systems is wrong, as indicated by the release anouncement - it is even ambiguous, since the 64 bit version is for x86-64 :) HTH, Michael -- The GIMP http://www.gimp.org| IRC: irc://irc.gimp.org/gimp Sodipodi http://sodipodi.sf.net | IRC: irc://irc.gimp.org/sodipodi ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Don't start spreading FUD. From http://fedora.redhat.com Sorry, no FUD intended. The info I got: CPU Requirements This section lists the CPU specifications required by Fedora Core 2. * AMD64 processors (both Athlon64 and Opteron) * Intel processors with Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel® EM64T) was from: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/ Not sure how the direct contradiction between the main FC2 page that you linked to and the release notes pages that a search for fedora core system requirements search took me to happened, but it is reassuring that FC2 is available for x86-64 and i386. How is FC2 running for folks (especially with regard to GIMP 2.0.1)? Chances are that if I install FC2 I will just put it in a spare partition and keep rh 9 as my production os. I briefly considered branching out to s Debian Sarge partition that would allow an 'apt-get install gimp', but my situation is further complicated by being on a 56k line. A kind windows user is downloading the isos of the new distro for me and I really don't see him installing Debian Jigdo to get the Sarge cd images But your general statement about discontinuing support for redhat based x86 operating systems is wrong, as indicated by the release anouncement - it is even ambiguous, since the 64 bit version is for x86-64 :) Yeah ok, thanks for sorting that out.
