Hi,

I am trying to install gimp-2.7 after cloning the git repository. For that, I must install gegl and babl 0.1.2.

I can't reach http://gegl .org that seems broken. So, I cloned the gegl git repository:
./autogen.sh: no problem
make : I get this error (translated)

make[3]: quitting « /home/xxx/gegl/docs/gallery » directory make[3]: going into « /home/xxx/gegl/docs » directory make[3]: *** No rule to make « gegl.devhelp » target, necessary for « all-am ». Stop.

How can I resolve this error?

Platform?

Follow these instructions. Suits most distros, though you may have the up to date gtk++

Try to pass --disable-docs to 'autogen.sh' and run make again.

It isn't obsolete or misleading. The gegl.org web-site is just temporarily down.

Thank you for your interest in my question.

Did you manage to get it to execute?

I ran into the same problem, downloaded the bz2 file of 0.1 gegl (feb 2010), and it seemed to resolve the compilation issue as well.

However, gimp fails to execute, citing the same problem with avcodec.

I'm suspicious this has to do with being on Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. I think those extra bits are giving the libs a hard time again.

Why would that keep GIMP from running? It's just one of the many GEGL operations that doesn't link. That should not be a show-stopper. In any case you can safely remove the ff-load.so file without loosing any functionality in GIMP.
