Happily I seem to have stumbled into the same situation. I compiled from one master partition (Slack 11) and run in an older one. /usr/local is the same in each (same partition linked into the tree.) Gimp 2.3.12 now runs just fine. Why I don't know. It won't run using the master partition in which it was compiled. I did have to upgrade glib. In answer to your questions here are the results: echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (nothing) file /usr/local/gimp-2.3/bin/gimp-2.3 /usr/local/gimp-2.3/bin/gimp-2.3: cannot open `/usr/local/gimp-2.3/bin/gimp-2.3' (No such file or directory) No wrappers installed. Go figure. Hey, I have a working Gimp of recent vintage. I am not touching a thing. And I won't upgrade to Slack 11.x until it has Gimp 2.4.x included. Don't mess with success. My executable is /usr/local/bin/gimp-2.3. It yields two errors on startup: ------------- /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/poppler: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler-glib.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (gimp-2.3:2838): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp-2.3: wire_read(): error -------------------- but it seems to run OK. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
