Won't install with GIMP 2.4 [solved]

Summary:

Tried installing it with GIMP 2.4 (not 2.2) and ./configure fails

Won't install with GIMP 2.4

Anonymous (190.64.5.x) 03 Nov 2007 04:37

I have a recently installed openSUSE 10.3 laptop. I just installed GIMP 2.4, and then tried installing the liquid plugin. I downloaded the source tarball, extracted it, and when I ran ./configure, it complains about not finding GIMP 2.2. How can I fix this?

This is strange, it should check for a version >= 2.2 .
Do you have the GIMP headers correctly installed?
What is the error output exactly?
Did you try with other plugins?
Maybe it just can't find GIMP at all, regardless of the version, perhaps due to something odd in your installation. Just guessing.
As a test, you might try changing the “GIMP_REQUIRED_VERSION” variable to “2.4.0” inside the “configure” script, it should be at line 5638.

The ./configure script runs, and finally produces:

checking for GIMP... configure: error: Package requirements (gimp-2.0 >= 2.2.0 gimpui-2.0 >= 2.2.0) were not met:

No package 'gimp-2.0' found
No package 'gimpui-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you 
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Aternatively, you may set the environment variables GIMP_CFLAGS
and GIMP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I tried changing GIMP_REQUIRED_VERSION, but got the same message.

Running gimp -v produces

GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.4.1

so it's pretty obvious I do have it. Doing whereis gimp produces

gimp: /usr/bin/gimp /etc/gimp /usr/lib/gimp /usr/bin/X11/gimp /usr/share/gimp /usr/share/man/man1/gimp.1.gz

As to the other questions…

• how do I check for the GIMP headers?
• this is the first plugin I ever try to compile and install

Any ideas?

Ok, you need the headers, which are normally shipped separately from the binary program.

Unfortunately, I never used SUSE, so I don't know how you could install them exactly.
You should look for them through your package manager, probably they are called something like “gimp-dev” or “gimp-headers” or similar, search for “gimp”, have a look at the descriptions of the packages and I'm sure you'll find them. If not, ask in some SUSE forum.

If (when) you succeed, please report, so that I can update the info in the installation instructions page.

Great, that did the trick! I did

smart install gimp24-devel

and after that, the whole configure - make - make install procedure ran perfectly well; thanks!!

I had the same problem with Mandriva 2007.1 and GIMP 2.3. This seemed to fix it similarly:

urpmi libgimp2.0-devel

I then successfully used configure, make, checkinstall and rpm -i. Thanks.

Very similar fix for Ubuntu (gutsy, but probably the same for other versions):

sudo aptitude install libgimp2.0-dev

I have gimp version

GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.6.8

using GEGL version 0.1.2 (compiled against version 0.1.2)
using GLib version 2.24.1 (compiled against version 2.23.6)
using GTK+ version 2.20.1 (compiled against version 2.19.7)
using Pango version 1.28.0 (compiled against version 1.27.1)
using Fontconfig version 2.8.0 (compiled against version 2.8.0)

under Fedora 13
and find it hard to install this .

I did

./autogen.sh

output:
<sniffed>
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating lqr/Makefile
config.status: creating man/Makefile
config.status: creating lqr-1.pc
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
Now type 'make' to compile LiquidRescale library.

1. make
2. make install

make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/ver/Downloads/liquidscale/liblqr-1-0.4.1’

and launched GIMP. I cant see Liquid Scale Menu there under Layer Main Menu.

Am I missing something

It looks like you've only installed the liblqr library. Install the plugin as well and it should show up.
