Hi,

I have a problem starting gimp 1.3.23. I compiled it with no problems after installing all the necessary libraries. When I start gmip I get the follwing error:

frawi@frawibook:~> gimp-1.3 This is a development version of The GIMP. Debug messages may appear here.

gimp_composite: use=yes, verbose=no +mmx -sse -sse2 -3dnow -altivec -vis

gimp 1.3.7 worked well before. I compiled the libs and gimp several times but no help.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks Frank

Hi,

sorry Dave and Sven, I made a mistake replying to your mails.

It appears you've run into a frequently found bug - you do not have any fonts installed where freefont can find them. Since around 1.3.15, we

I have installed TrueType fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/, other applications use this fonts (OpenOffice).

have been using freefont for fonts. If you do not have any true-type fonts installed, then the GIMP will not start by default.

Is freefont included in gimp or is it an extra package? I have installed the packeges an libraries listed on wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GimpFromSource.

To test this theory, try running gimp-1.3 --no-fonts

The same error :-(

gimp 1.3.7 worked well before. I compiled the libs and gimp several times but no help.

You might consider running make uninstall in the gimp 1.3.7 source directory, then re-running make install in the newer sources. Several files have been removed in the meantime which might cause you problems.

Yes, I did this before.

Hope that helps,
Dave.

Not yet, any other hints?

This indicates that something is severely broken with your Pango libraries. 'make clean' in Pango and rebuilding it should fix the problem.

after uninstalling and installing some libraries (glib, pango, atk and gtk+) and recompiling gimp-1.3.23 there is only one error left:
