I'm trying to do what the subject explains. I already installed successfully Gimp-1.2.3. In order to prevent conflicts within incompatible versions of glib and gtk+, they are installed in distinct hierarchies. "configure --disable-print" works correctly. When compiling, I get the following error in plug-ins/sel2path and plug-ins/common: the loader does not find the entry point "abort". In order to terminate the compilation, I make the following change in the Makefile of both these directories: add "/usr/lib/libc.a" in front of the definition of GTK_LIBS. The compilation then terminates, as well as the "make install". When I call "gimp --verbose", I get the flash image, and after a while, here is what happens: parsing "/usr/local/etc/gimp/1.3/gimprc" parsing "/net2/ciceron2/ol/.gimp-1.3/gimprc" Adding theme 'Default' (/usr/local/share/gimp/1.3/themes/Default) Parsing '/usr/local/share/gimp/1.3/themes/Default/gtkrc' Parsing '/net2/ciceron2/ol/.gimp-1.3/gtkrc' loading module: '/usr/local/lib/gimp/1.3/modules/libcolorsel_triangle.so' loading module: '/usr/local/lib/gimp/1.3/modules/libcdisplay_gamma.so' loading module: '/usr/local/lib/gimp/1.3/modules/libcdisplay_highcontrast.so' ** (gimp-1.3:6106): WARNING **: Could not find XftConfig file cannot open file "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig" querying plug-in: "/usr/local/lib/gimp/1.3/plug-ins/tool-safe-mode" writing "/net2/ciceron2/ol/.gimp-1.3/pluginrc" initializing plug-in: "/usr/local/lib/gimp/1.3/plug-ins/tool-safe-mode" gimp-1.3: tool-safe-mode init called gimp-1.3: tool_plug_in_path: /net2/ciceron2/ol/.gimp-1.3/tool-plug-ins:/usr/local/lib/gimp/1.3/tool-plug-ins gimp-1.3: tool-safe-mode init done Starting extensions: extension_script_fu gimp-1.3: fatal error: Segmentation fault gimp-1.3 (pid:6106): [E]xit, [H]alt, show [S]tack trace or [P]roceed: s #0 0x30005812a64 in g_on_error_stack_trace (prg_name=0x11ffffbe8 "gimp-1.3") #1 0x300058128f8 in g_on_error_query (prg_name=0x11ffffbe8 "gimp-1.3") #2 0x120053e6c in gimp_terminate () #3 0x120053cfc in gimp_fatal_error () Then the process enters and endless loop, which I terminate with a C-c: gimp-1.3: terminated: Interrupt /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.3/plug-ins/script-fu terminated: Interrupt (script-fu:6120): LibGimp-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_flush(): error: Broken pipe I know that this version is unstable, but probably I get more problems than expected. What could I try? -- Olivier Lecarme
