I've been having memory problems with my SuSE 8.2 version of Gimp ( v1.2.3) and wanted to upgrade it to the new 1.3. When I tried to run the upgrade with Synaptic it wanted to uninstall all the Scanner stuff (Sane, XSane, KdeScanner) in order to install Gimp 1.3 Anyone know if it is OK to install Gimp without the removing the scanner stuff? I need the scanner as well as Gimp. TIA -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E

sane requires from gimp: linux01:rpm -qp --requires sane-1.0.10-235.i586.rpm | grep gimp libgimp-1.2.so.0 The diff is as follows: linux01:1 18:25:11 /ftp/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.2-i386/RPMS.usr-local-bin $ rpm -qp --provides gimp-1.3.19-SuSE.ulb.1.i586.rpm gimp gimpmodule.so libcdisplay_colorblind.so libcdisplay_gamma.so libcdisplay_highcontrast.so libcolorsel_cmyk.so libcolorsel_triangle.so libcolorsel_water.so libgck-1.3.so.19 libgimp-1.3.so.19 libgimpbase-1.3.so.19 libgimpcolor-1.3.so.19 libgimpmath-1.3.so.19 libgimpmodule-1.3.so.19 libgimpui-1.3.so.19 libgimpwidgets-1.3.so.19 linux01:1 18:25:56 /ftp/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.2-i386/RPMS.base $ rpm -qp --provides gimp-1.2.3-374.i586.rpm libcolorsel_gtk.so libcolorsel_triangle.so libcolorsel_water.so libgck-1.2.so.0 libgimp-1.2.so.0 libgimpui-1.2.so.0 As you can see libgimp-1.2.so.0 is not provided by gimp-1.3.

Hmm, thanks, but I think I'll give it a miss for now. I can live with memory problems as they are, and I need the scanner to work. Thanks anyway. -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E
Or you could just have both installed if you have the room. I have gimp-1.2 for that exact same reason (sane required) and gimp-1.3 for my imaging. They both work fine side by side. -----Original Message----- From: jalal [mailto:the_jalal@fastmail.fm] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 4:51 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Updating GIMP On Tue 30 December 2003 18:32, Richard Bos wrote:

Did you install from RPM? Seems like it would overwrite the old one...

No, it would not. ain
I did install using the RPM's that came with SuSE 9.0. There was no over writing.

The person asking is using SuSE 8.2, and yes, the GIMP 1.3 packages in the APT repository will overwrite the 1.2 package installed. However, you can build that version from source, and parallel install it that way -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0).

James, thanks very much... just in time! Source it is then. -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E
