Running Gimp 2.4.x and 2.5.0 side by side

Sorry if this is the wrong list for this question, but I figure the developers are most likely to be doing this.

I've followed the instructions on the site. BABL, GEGL and Gimp are all installed to /usr/local/gimp2.5. I've installed a modified version of the suggested wrapper script (with the correct paths) in /usr/local/bin.

Any attempt to run gimp-2.5 results in the message

------ Libgimp version mismatch!

The GIMP binary cannot run with a libgimp version other than its own. This is GIMP 2.5.0, but the libgimp version is 2.4.5.

Maybe you have GIMP versions in both /usr and /usr/local ? ------

I've tried carrying out the functions of the wrapper by hand. I've run ldconfig -N on the .../gimp-2.5/lib directory.

I'm using stow to manage the system so I could theoretically just use it to swap the versions in and out, but I'd rather be able to run them properly side-by-side.

Any suggestions?

Did you make sure to `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH`? (I'm not sure what the equivalent might be for different shells). This is likely the problem if you see a difference between the output of `ldd /path/to/gimp2.5/bin/gimp`
and
`ldd --library-path /path/to/gimp2.5/lib /path/to/gimp2.5/bin/gimp`

Note that you can check for sure if this might be the problem by running gimp2.5 directly with the overridden library path `/lib/ld-2.7.so --library-path /path/to/gimp2.5/lib /path/to/gimp2.5/bin/gimp`

cheers, --xsdg

Yup. The wrapper script does that, but I've tried doing it by hand as well.

`ldd /path/to/gimp2.5/bin/gimp`
and
`ldd --library-path /path/to/gimp2.5/lib /path/to/gimp2.5/bin/gimp`

ldd reports it linking to /usr/local/lib, so confirming that it's missing the target! My version of glibc is 2.3.6 according to ldconfig --version and my version of ldd doesn't have the --library-path option.

Note that you can check for sure if this might be the problem by running gimp2.5 directly with the overridden library path `/lib/ld-2.7.so --library-path /path/to/gimp2.5/lib /path/to/gimp2.5/bin/gimp`

I tried that and it still produced the same error. There's something going on in the linking stage of gimp I think. I'll try building static libraries only and see if that does it.

Thanks for your help. Looking forward to the final release, and I'll continue to play with 2.5 for testing purposes.

Color management isn't fully implemented yet (previews will give you wrong colors in plug-ins if you use AdobeRGB as working space profile, too). No idea when this will be fixed.

To be honest, aside from the usual desire for adjustment layers (or something similar), my only real wish at the minute would be that the CMYK values that are generated in the Sample Points window matched those of PS. Or that I could choose the rendering algorithm. Is this something that will appear naturally as a part of the colour management, or is it a separate issue (C is not my forte, or I'd dive in and find out for myself!)?

This is probably something that should be discussed in a separate thread.

Making all related widgets color managed is the plan. If you are willing to spend some time on doing this, I'm sure you help will be very much appreciated. I also can't comment on technical side, but someone like Sven who did most of work on initial CMM support can :)

The preview of plug-ins has absolutely nothing to do with the RGB -> CMYK conversion of the Color Picker tool. Why are you mentioning this here?
