Tried the latest development gimp, 2.3.9. Had a problem with Xsane. It reecognized Xsane, and when I selected it gave me the "accept" page. I said yes and then Xsane blew up. (In the process of getting a runnable 2.3.9 I had to delete som3 glibs and insatll newer ones.) So I downloaded 2.2.12 into its own directory, and compiled it.
It gives me the inital splash sreen but then errors, such as the following: (gimp:12480): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `GimpConfigInterface' (gimp:12480): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_interface_add_prerequisite: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_INTERFACE (interface_type)' failed (gimp:12480): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion `g_type_parent (interface_type) == G_TYPE_INTERFACE' failed (gimp:12480): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `GimpConfigInterface' (gimp:12480): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_interface_add_prerequisite: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_INTERFACE (interface_type)' failed (gimp:12480): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion `g_type_parent (interface_type) == G_TYPE_INTERFACE' failed (gimp:12480): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `GimpParamRGB' (gimp:12480): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_internal: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_PARAM (param_type) && param_type != G_TYPE_PARAM' failed Segmentation fault --------------------------- So back to the drawing board. I can of course wipe out everything and start all over. But I am stilll curious about the Xsane thing. What would cause it to start and then abend?
