Cannot compile tarball

  • 772

I have a tarball, gimp-2.6.6.tar.bz2, and I extracted it to

/usr/local/src/gimp-2.6.6

then did

cd /usr/local/src/gimp-2.6.6

Next I did

./configure

It put all that stuff into terminal, but stopped at

checking for BABL:

and failed, saying it couldn't find BABL. A few sources said to do

sudo apt-get install libbabl-dev

so I did and it worked. However, it then got stuck on

checking for GEGL:

and failed again, saying it couldn't find GEGL. I tried

sudo apt-get install libgegl-dev

and it downloaded and installed it, but it still did not configure. So I tried

sudo apt-get install gegl*

but it still didn't configure. Any ideas?

configuration

  1. I suggest you following command than yours.

    sudo apt-get build-dep gimp

    Ubuntu repository has also gimp source.

    Although repository's gimp version is not same gimp tarball, it's build dependencies is almost same.
