Sabayon v3.4e - Problems with gimp [Solved]

[tekwyzrd]

I installed gimp v2.3.19. and now am unable to open .png or .jpg files. Odd. It worked fine in Sabayon v3.3 I googled for a possible answer and the only thing suggested was the possibility that png and jpeg flags might be missing in the ebuild. The flags are there. Then I tried v2.4-rc1. Emerge failed as follows:

jpegqual.o: In function `main':
jpegqual.c:(.text+0x5ae): undefined reference to `jpeg_std_error'
jpegqual.c:(.text+0x5c4): undefined reference to `jpeg_CreateDecompress'

Downgraded gimp to v2.2.17 with the same results as v2.3.19. Unable to open or save .jpg or .png.

Suggestions?

what does

emerge -pv gimp show for flags?

here is mine

Code: Select all

wolfden wolfden # emerge -pv gimp

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

If I'm interpreting this correctly something is telling it NOT to use jpeg and png. I don't understand why.

[wolfden]

missing use flags in the /etc/make.conf

try adding the png jpeg to it than try

Thanks. I just finished doing that and was writing a message to post when I opened another tab and saw this. After my previous post I did some more googling and in the process it occurred to me that there might be a problem with make.conf. After adding jpeg and png to /etc/make.conf (shouldn't it be there already?) emerge was successful and I now have a working gimp v2.4 able to open .png and .jpg files.

yes it should be there, but for some reason 3.4 went out the door missing critical use flags. I always copy over my same use flags from install to install.

I'll have to remember that. Thanks for the help, and the tip.

not keen on many of the changes made to this program since 2.2

why take color adjustment out of the layer options

script fu has practically vanished

Gimp shop would be a nice addition to Sabayon.

It's available in the zugaina overlay. You can find a list of ebuilds in that overlay ->here<-
