Installing GIMP-2.7.1

Hi,

I installed GIMP-2.7.1 with the usual ./configure, make, make install. No error.
Then /usr/local/bin/gimp-2.7:
"error while loading shared libraries: libgimpwidgets-2.0.so cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory"

What must I do?

(I run OpenSuse-11.3)

Thank you very much.
It was impossible to find this by myself. It is not described in the INSTALL file!

That's because the advice isn't correct.

Make sure that the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains the directory of the libgimp you've built.

See http://www.chromecode.com/2009/12/best-way-to-keep-up-with-gimp-from-git_26.html for an example:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

This causes the lib directory in the chosen installation prefix (provided that $PREFIX is set) to be included in the shared library lookup.

HTH, Michael

On some systems you may also need to run ldconfig after installing a new library file. Library files installed using a package management system should do that automatically. I mention it as an FYI.

He is installing from a tar-ball into an rpm-based system, openSUSE, and may not be aware of the requirement for running ldconfig (probably should run SuSEconfig *and* ldconfig). The particular version of gimp, 2.7.1, is not presently available packaged as an rpm for his system. Installations via tar-ball can cause system problems/broken packages in this environment.
