Re: [Gimp-user] New error with 2.3.11 and 2.3.10
Hi all,
I've seen this once and IIRC it turned out that my gimp-2.3 tried to load
libgimp / libgimpbase from version 2.2 which is still on the somewhere on
my Linux box.
I fixed this by installing gimp-2.3 completely under /usr/local/Gimp-2.3
and calling it by a little wrapper named gimpdev:
--
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Gimp-2.3/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
/usr/local/Gimp-2.3/bin/gimp-2.3
--
The key is here that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable must point to the right
libs.
Regards,
Stephan.

[Gimp-user] Slackware adventures (contd.)
I have a new Linux Slackware 11 partition that does not have a Gnome add-on. In that partition I successfully ran ./configure, make and make install against a fresh download of gimp 2.3.12. To get it to run I had to import the /usr/local/libgimpconfig* files and links from the old Slackware 10.2 partition. The error I mentioned before did not recur on this partition. However I cannot start gimp from a console window as before. I have to use an icon or the run command. Another anomaly: ./configure couldn't find python so I compiled gimp without it. python is on the system so perhaps I have a path problem. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

I recently upgraded to glib 2.12.4 and gtk+ 2.10.6 from source and while I've seen some change in behavior of GNOME on my system, Gimp 2.3.11 runs fine and I don't recall seeing that message ever.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP used in prisons / secure institutions
Ok, so the issue is that open source software might contain some sort of back door. I guess you could tell your bosses the following: * Every bank on earth uses open source software, whether it's openssh, bind, sendmail, Linux, ant, junit, apache, etc. * Every fortune 500 company in the world (many of which have *very* stringent security requirements) also use the above-mentioned open source software. * Every large government institution on earth uses this open source software too. So yes, while it is possible that some back-door has been written into an open-source program, it's highly unlikely, especially for large, well-respected projects like Gimp. HTH!
