On my system, in my shell env, GI_TYPELIB_PATH is not defined. I suppose you are suggesting the Gimp build (say make install) should set or add to that variable in my env, but I don't think it should change my .profile. Maybe the problem is with PyGObject? Are there standard locations (i.e. paths) for .gir files? Shouldn't PyGObject (and lua-lgi, etc.) be looking there? Maybe there is no such standard, and to use GI requires the GI_TYPELIB_PATH variable in the environment. I was trying to suggest that when Gimp starts it should augment GI_TYPELIB_PATH in its own environment. IOW a bug in Gimp. I could be wrong. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
