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. This problem's a bit more complicated. GIMP 2.2 does have a dependency on Gimp-Print 4.2; the Print plugin in GIMP 2.2 requires the Gimp-Print 4.2 library, and Gutenprint 5.0 has an incompatible API. However, we've already thought of that; it's possible to have both Gimp-Print 4.2 and Gutenprint 5.0 installed concurrently. 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? Well, the actual story is that Gutenprint 5.0 includes its own Print plugin for the GIMP that replaces the one in GIMP 2.2. The best thing to do is to configure the GIMP with configure --disable-print (or --without-print, I don't remember which) and then to install Gutenprint on top of it. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
