OK, after some hard time, I manage to get GIMP built. Typically, I follow the instruction in http://clockwork.fr/how-to-compile-gimp-271-on-snow-leopard/ Note that one has to install gtk2 using command below to avoid some weird dependency problems port install gtk2 +no_x11 +quartz +universal However, another problem arises after the successful GIMP build. When I launched GIMP, some error messages regarding pygtk shows Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/python-eval.py", line 19, in <module> from gimpfu import * File "/usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 76, in <module> import gimp ImportError: could not import pygtk (gimp-console-2.7:43828): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp-console-2.7: gimp_wire_read(): error with other similar errors referring to python-console.py, py-slice.py, palette-to-gradient.py, palette-sort.py, palette-offset.py, foggify.py, colorxhtml.py I found an old thread with similar problem at http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-developer/2008-February/019751.html which suggests setting the PYTHONPATH might fix the problem. However, it did not work here. Any suggessions? Thanks in advance, Tim On Apr 14, 2011, at 12:57 AM, Chen Hsiang-Ting wrote: > Hi all, > > I were trying to build GIMP 2.6 with MacPorts.
