The latest stable versions should do, 0.0.22 for both babl and gegl.

To use 2.6.x Gimp means installing gegl and to install gegl requires that one install babl. I have tried various editions of gegl, from 0,18 to 0.22 and svn. They give me the same error: In file included from gegl-tile-backend-tiledir.c:26: gegl-tile-backend.h:39: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'Babl' gegl-tile-backend-tiledir.c: In function 'gio_entry_read': gegl-tile-backend-tiledir.c:76: error: 'GeglTileBackend' has no member named 'tile_size' gegl-tile-backend-tiledir.c: In function 'gio_entry_write': So now I assume the problem lies in babl. I will have to experiment with various versions of babl until I find one that works with gegl, and then find a version of gegl that works with Gimp 2.6.4. If the Gimp source distro contained a compatible version of gegl and babl then compiling from source would be a lot easier. Now my only other choice is to install Ubuntu or whatever on another partition and see if they have an updated binary Gimp available. That is a lot of work and a lot of time also. -- John Culleton Precision Typesetting Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Fwd: Gimp latest version
-- Forwarded message -- From: "Mark J. Reed" Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 09:14:33 -0500 Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp latest version To: Cristian Secară , Claus Cyrny its not the Gimp team's job to package things. If you let Ubuntu do it for you, then you have to accept the limitations that come with that. There are instructions on the web for getting gimp 2.6 to run on 8.04 without compiling it yourself, but you have to uninstall and reinstall vast swaths of the desktop gui. Why not just upgrade to 8.10? Gimp is what motivated me to do that, and it was pretty darn painless. Btw, the Ubuntu releases are Year.Month, so there can't be an 8.20. The next release will be a 9.something. On 1/16/09, Cristian Secară wrote: > On Fri, 16 Jan 2009 10:08:04 +0100, Claus Cyrny wrote: > >> I tried this myself, but found it very difficult.
