Problem with installing 2.5.2

2.5.2 requires gegl. so I downloaded the gegle source and did a ./configure and then a make.

At the very end of the gegl make I got the folllowing bunch of errors:

make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/local/gegl-0.0.18/docs/gallery' --[Updating sample compositions]--

Is there a way to bypass this part of gegl? All I want is the parts that Gimp 2.5.2 needs. Documentation wouldn't seem to be critical.

./configure --help

You will notice that there's a --disable-docs option. Have you tried to use that?

OK I did that and after updating a bunch of libraries Gimp 2.5.2 compiles and starts. But when I open the default document it shows up black. When from the Color menu I select invert the program crashes.

I recognize that it is a development version. Still this is a bit discouraging.

AFAIK GIMP does not have a 'default document'. What do you mean.

When from the Color menu I select invert the program crashes.

Try unchecking the 'Use Gegl' checkbox in the toolbox and then using invert. If it works OK, there may be something wrong with your BABL or GEGL installation.

I recognize that it is a development version. Still this is a bit discouraging.

It may also be a bug in BABL or GEGL only triggered by a particular quirk of your system.

HTH,
David

There have been segfaults when GEGL was used to process the demo images in the docs directory, and thus...

... it should IMO first be verified that GEGL does work at all, e.g. by running the gegl executable and checking what does happen then.

Well I have deinstalled 2.5.2 and gone back to 2.4.5. I hope the value added by the gegl package is worth the extra install effort and the greater risk for failure. What pressing need does it address?

Well I have deinstalled 2.5.2 and gone back to 2.4.5. I hope the value added by the gegl package is worth the extra install effort and the greater risk for failure.

On every one of the 5 installations I've done, it's been easy to do and worked fine immediately. You simply lucked out. That said, GEGL isn't production standard yet -- mainly because it needs more testing (which GIMP will provide by using it). So, your efforts to get it working on your system are appreciated.

GEGL is a huge step for GIMP towards doing image processing in the 'right way' -- ie. flexible, avoiding unnecessary destruction of useful data, and easy to extend. One of the concrete benefits of GEGL is, it allows GIMP to replace special casing for RGB, Gray, Indexed image types with code that can simply work without special casing -- less code == less bugs.

Another is that it reduces the size of the GIMP core codebase (which is sorely needed, esp. for attracting new developers) by allowing any special-case optimizations that are wanted to be done outside GIMP and plugged into GEGL. (it is currently a bit slow, so there will need to be optimizations)

I hope you will try again, perhaps when 2.6 is released.

That was a good thing to do. Since you don't have a clue about compiling software from source and repeatedly managed to break your installation, you better stick with the pre-compiled binaries. GIMP 2.6 will come to your distribution soon enough.
