The problem is that my distro , Gentoo, has a dependancy block on gimp-print>4.2.7 with gimp-2.2 Now from what you say this may be an error or a misunderstanding of old issues. I recall quite some time ago I put in a bug report at bugs.gentoo.org and got this was an "upstream" issue and the block would remain until that was resolved. If you can help me fix this issue , which may be infact a non-issue, you may help clear this up for all Gentoo users as well. It seems the crux of the issue is version checking done by gimp precompilation checks. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75918#c8 According to configure.in: m4_define([gimpprint_required_version], [4.2.0]) m4_define([gimpprint_suggested_version], [4.2.6]) m4_define([gimpprint_toonew_version], [4.3.0]) Therefore, if you use >=4.2.*, gimp maintainers don't support it. The ebuilds will stay how they are until the maintainers say that its okay to use a later ( probably non-beta ) version of gimp-print. Thanks for reporting! Is the conclusion from this that the src tarball for gimp 2.2.x needs these checks to be changed because gimp-print-5.x does now work with it?
