I downloaded GEGL and BABL from the links on page http://www.gimp.org/, i.e. http://gegl.org/ and http://gegl.org/babl/. I compiled and installed them using the normal procedure (sudo ./configure && make && make install). Thus GEGL and BABL are not built from git, and they are installed in the system directories, not under a special prefix. Your articles seem to suggest that I should have chosen the second solution, but http://www.gimp.org/source/howtos/gimp-git-build.html does not suggest that. Since GEGL is installed in only one place, i.e. /usr/local/lib/, I don't understand where GIMP could find it in a wrong place. 2015-10-07 17:38 GMT+02:00 Elle Stone <ellestone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > On 10/07/2015 10:10 AM, Olivier wrote: > >> Hello all. >> >> I'm trying to build GIMP-2.9 as explained on >> http://www.gimp.org/source/howtos/gimp-git-build.html.
