Gimp 2 won't start

I just installed Gimp 2 (via rpm) and all seemed to go well. Then I tried to start it, and got nothing. I switched to command line, and got this error:

 

gimp-2.0: relocation error: /usr/lib/libgimpwidgets-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: gdk_threads_lock

 

I have no idea what this means, how to fix, etc.

 

I am running Mandrake 10.

 

Thanks very much.

Hiya Scoopy:

 

Yes, yes, and libgimp2.0_0-2.0.1-1mdk.i586.rpm (as opposed to libgimp2.0_0-2.0.0-2mdk). Is this a significant enough difference, I wonder? I'll try it tommorrow.

 

Cheers,

Howdy:

 

It is definately a GTK call. I decided to try installing from source. I downloaded all the packages, their deps, and their deps, too. Pango requires glib. I installed glib, but pango keeps telling me that it's not there. Without Pango, I can't install GTK+... Very annoying... If anyone has any bright ideas, or even moderate ideas, I'm open to suggestions...

 

Thanks

Well, whatever I did, something worked. After trying to do things the tarball way, I downloaded and installed the correct ligimp (rpm), and all went brilliantly after that. WooHoo! Personally, I think that it is the small difference in version numbers... who'd a thunk it?

 

Thanks for the help, folks :cheesy:
