I've just installed gimp 2.10.6 on Kubuntu 18.04 from the ppa.launchpad.net/otto-kesselgulasch/gimp/ubuntu repository, but when I try to start it I get a pop-up with the following message:
GdkPixbuf version too old!
GIMP requires GdkPixbuf version 2.30.8 or later. Installed GdkPixbuf version is 2.30.7.
Somehow you or your software packager managed
to install GIMP with an older GdkPixbuf version.
Please upgrade to GdkPixbuf version 2.30.8 or later.
however, according to synaptic, the version of gdkpixbuf on my system is 2.36.11-2....
I tried starting it from a console, and the pop-up was preceded by the following message:
~$ gimp
Missing fast-path babl conversion detected, Implementing missing babl fast paths
accelerates GEGL, GIMP and other software using babl, warnings are printed on
first occurance of formats used where a conversion has to be synthesized
programmatically by babl based on format description
*WARNING* missing babl fast path(s): "Y u16" to "Y' u8"
GEGL-Message: 23:05:49.279: Module '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gegl-0.4/pixbuf.so'
load error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gegl-0.4/pixbuf.so: undefined symbol: gdk_pixbuf_read_pixels
does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
