It's been a marathon effort to get GIMP 2.0 installed on my Red Hat FC 1 machine. There are lots of dependencies, and dependencies of dependencies to build GIMP2.0.
I first got hung up on the Glib installation. It seemed to go smoothly, but the next piece is Pango, and that complained during ./configure that I had two versions of Glib. I would have just removed the old version if I knew what to remove or how.
Anyway, I eventually rectified the "you've got two Glibs" problem by adding /usr/local/lib to my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the following:
#$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib [ret]
But, after re-booting, my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH was empty. So first question is how do you make it stick? iirc, you need to set it in your .bashrc file? Maybe that's not a good question to begin with, because I've seen a lot of advice against using LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all. I eventually learned to edit /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig, so it's probably a moot point.
Long story short, I tried installing everything from source, then from RPMs, then using APT, then back to source for the past four days. I finally got everything to build (although I had to sacrifice gimp-print b/c it just wouldn't find one of the files that *was* installed.) When I started GIMP, it told me that there was a problem with the class size of Pango and would seg fault. I next rebooted, and now X can't start properly.
I'm going to transfer all files to CD for my presentation, and since the machine can dual-boot and has GIMP2.0 installed on Windows, I can use that, but I would really like to do the presentation on Linux. So, I'm wondering if anyone might be available at Martha's at 6 to help me straighten this out. I'll be busy during the day, but can also work on it for an hour at lunch time.
