He is installing from a tar-ball into an rpm-based system, openSUSE, and may not be aware of the requirement for running ldconfig (probably should run SuSEconfig *and* ldconfig). The particular version of gimp, 2.7.1, is not presently available packaged as an rpm for his system. Installations via tar-ball can cause system problems/broken packages in this environment. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USAHOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535@ http://counter.li.org ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

See http://www.chromecode.com/2009/12/best-way-to-keep-up-with-gimp-from-git_26.html for an example: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" This causes the lib directory in the chosen installation prefix (provided that $PREFIX is set) to be included in the shared library lookup.

[Gimp-user] Installing GIMP-2.7.1
Hi, I installed GIMP-2.7.1 with the usual ./configure, make, make install. No error. Then /usr/local/bin/gimp-2.7: "error while loading shared libraries: libgimpwidgets-2.0.so cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory" What must I do?

Re: [Gimp-user] Scaling / rotating images and focus
Thanks. That does help, but not completely, because the more you lessen the opacity, the less of the preview you can see. It still appears on top of all the layers, rather than in the layer where it was originally positioned (in this case, at the bottom).

[Gimp-user] Question about the rendering engine
I'm not a developer, so please don't slate me. I'm merely querying. I have six gigs of DDR3 RAM, an i7, and have allocated Gimp three gigs of RAM. My understand is that Gimp should run pretty smoothly. And it does. Except for when my file sizes increase. Let's say I'm working on an A3 page, at 300 DPI. If I grab a large brush and paint quickly, then the brush's response isn't immediate; it's delayed and follows my Wacom activity a few moments later. Is this a result of Gimp's engine? Or is it that my PC is too slow (which seems unlikely)? Furthermore, what can I do to make Gimp run at its absolute fastest in Ubuntu? I'd greatly appreciate tips and tweaks. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
