Hello,

I am trying to install GIMP 2.0.1 from source on a Solaris 2.8 machine. Unfortunately, I have not managed to get the prerequisite GTK 2.4.1 to install. I am following the instructions in 'install_help.html' from the GIMP web site.

pkg-config seems to install OK glib 2.4.1 installs OK.
pango 1.4.0 OK
ATK 1.6.0 OK

Gtk configure fails at:

checking for GLIB version >= 2.4.0... no *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... etc...

This is SECOND check for GLIB, first check passed!:

checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.4.0... yes

the message says it might be finding an old version of Glib, but I do not want to remove this and damage other installations of GIMP/GTK (I thought it WAS possible to have parallel installations of GTK).

Has anyone else experienced this difficulty? Could anyone suggest a way to install GIMP 2.0.1 that doesn't risk breaking the existing 1.2.5 installation ?

Thanks,

Colin

we have been seeing this exact problem with debian, fedora, suse. maybe mandrake -- i cannot remember exactly.

it seems to be a problem with pkg-config and the suggestions of how to fix it are many.

for some reason, there is a glib-2.4 on your computer but there is no glib-2.4.pc in the place that pkg-config should be putting one. in that place is a glib-2.3.pc.

I am getting a bit further, but have had to install glib in a 'standard' location (i.e. under /usr/local) rather than the test area I was using. The 'pc' file for glib seems to be glib-2.0.pc by the way, and is OK.

Now when configuring GTK I get further, but it fails with

sh: gnome-config: not found configure: error: Pango 1.2.0 and Xft backend is required for x11 target

Now, the installation document does say installation of FreeType2 is a prerequisite, and I've managed to install this. It also mentions 'PangoFT2', and I am wondering if this is what is missing. I have not managed to find a download for this, so I don't know if its part of another package. Could someone help me find 'PangoFT2' ?

Thanks,

Colin

it has been a long time since i had to build pango. looks like you might need to build one also.

running ./configure --help before you build it might show you a way to build the FT2 parts.

Thanks, Carol. I had installed pango as a prerequisite, but on re-reading the Pango README I've seen that 'fontconfig' needs to be on the system, or it won't build PangoFT2, which is part of pango.

My installation of GIMP on Solaris is not going well!

Its stuck in compilation of the Xft prerequisite for Pango. I've appended the error, which is the result of trying to build xft 2.1.2, just in case someone reading this thinks they can assist.

Any users of GIMP 2 on Solaris ? How did you build it ?

Thanks,

Colin
