You need to run the command from INSIDE /usr/lib.

Is this right?

Code: Select all

# cd /usr/lib
# gimp

(gimp:2819): GLib-WARNING **: goption.c:2132: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 0
** Message: Module '/usr/lib/gegl-0.1/ff-load.so' load error: libavformat.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is a development version of GIMP.  Debug messages may appear here.

#
See the edit to the previous that there is a broken link at

Code: Select all

/root/libavformat.so.52

The link needs to be in the folder /usr/lib NOT in /root.

You need to open a console INSIDE /usr/lib and type the ln command again.

Sorry I'm a bit thick-headed. I deleted the broken link in /root and hopefully put the link in correctly this time.
Problem still the same.

This is what I see in /usr/lib.
Thanks very much for your patience. It's getting late - more so for you!

The only other thing I can suggest is that you go into another Puppy like Lupu and get the real libavformat.so.52.

I took it from the lupu iso and that got me a step farther, but the terminal kept asking for more new files until I decided to adjourn for now.

Just as a shot in the dark I tried
Gimp_2.7.3_Lucid_5.pet
I get:

Code: Select all

# gimp
gimp: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/lib/libgimpwidgets-2.0.so.0)
gimp: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/lib/libgimpbase-2.0.so.0)
gimp: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/lib/libgegl-0.1.so.0)
gimp: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/lib/libbabl-0.1.so.0)
#
Any idea where to find this?

This is heading towards a dead end and may have nothing to do with the printing problem. I think that there are two possible solutions.

1. Have gray make you a Gimp 2.7.2 for Racy NOP because that's the one that printed for chekrout .

2. Use some other printing tool.

Just want to remind that Lupu Puppy has Glibc-2.11.x while Wary/Racy has got 2.10.x .

It is possible to disable glibc version checks for libraries and binaries , i think i have seen such in one configuration option of a package . Probably unsafe to to such though .

Puppy 4 series should have glibc-2.6.1 and Lighthouse Puppy-4x series glibc-2.9.x .

Slacko has glibc-2.13 and Precise seems to have 2.15 as i look it up @
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite ... ords=glibc

Older glibc bins/libs compiles are very likely to work in newer glibc environments, but newer will almost everytime abort with the error message
version `GLIBC_NEWER-MAJOR.NEWER-Minor' not found .

I installed this in RacyNOP along with libgegl and libbabl. I made a test drawing and tried to save it. The program segfaulted. It looks to me like this version has more serious problems than printing.

You are correct, of course. I am not able to save new drawings. Well, I did not exhaustively test the Gimp features - I never create drawings - I only work with existing photos. And then try to print them.

Exactly where these problems lie, I don't know. The 2.6.8 version also runs in RacyNop but doesn't print. I'll check to see if saves new drawings. It certainly worked and printed in the previous QuirkyNop.

EDIT: This one saves drawings but does not print in RacyNop.
