Error: GIMP configuration failed.
- Error: missing dependency glib-networking
*** Test for glib-networking failed. This is required.
See the file 'INSTALL' for more help.
Configure failed or did not finish!
What should I do to fix this error?
ps: When I do
dnf install glib-networking
I get:
Package glib-networking-2.50.0-2.fc26.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Package glib-networking-2.50.0-2.fc26.i686 is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
There is no glib-networking-devel as far as I know.
Hi @SheetM – I am on very thin ice here, and I do not have any Fedora installed… However, I have failed quite often trying to compile The Gimp myself the last few days, so at least I hope to be able to point you into the right direction…
a) glib-networking belongs to the gio modules. Thus: check the gio modules path in your prefix. As Elle wrote
> # Correspondingly, in the line that reads "export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib/gio/modules"

b) Check in configure.ac to see what file and version it really looks for.
Thanks! That worked. For Fedora, the GIO modules path is “/usr/lib64/gio/modules”.
Now “./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX --with-gimpdir=$HOME/code/gimpdefault/install/config --disable-gtk-doc” completes successfuly.
However, I now get the following error in the “make -j3 && make -j3 install” stage:
make all-recursive

I have checked and these .png files look like normal .png files. Is this an issue with the version libpng installed? I have got version 1.6.28 installed. How do I fix this?
However, when I try to run gimp 2.9 it displays the message:
‘GEGL operation missing!
GIMP requires the GEGL operation “gegl:alien-map”. This operation cannot be found. Check your GEGL install and ensure it has been compiled with any dependencies required for GIMP.’
GIMP requires the GEGL operation “gegl:npd”.
This operation cannot be found. Check your
GEGL install and ensure it has been compiled
with any dependencies required for GIMP.
"
Any idea on what should be done?
Hmmmmm…
Did you compile gegl yourself, according to the instructions on ninedegreesbelow?
Did that compilation run OK, or did you receive any error msg?
If you have suggestions for improving my “how to compile GIMP” pages I will try to update the pages. I’m impressed that you stuck with it through all the errors and got the code to compile and run - a lot of people would have just given up (these days probably including me, sometimes one does get tired of solving compile problems).
Thanks very much Elle! And thanks to the GIMPers that helped me out in this and other forums!
I also want to get rigsofrods working on Fedora, that is my next adventure!
I am building a script that should automatically build GIMP-git on Fedora 26. So next time I format the pc, I won’t have any trouble installing GIMP from git source.
Here we go, this script seems to work for me in Fedora 26:
# This script should get the GIT version of GIMP installed and running on your Fedora system.
# It was tested using Fedora 26 Cinnamon 64bit.
# Copy paste this instructions into your terminal.
# It will install GIMP GIT in your $HOME/code2/gimpdefault/build/gimp/app folder.
# Set up some folders
mkdir $HOME/code3
mkdir $HOME/code3/gimpdefault
mkdir $HOME/code3/gimpdefault/build
mkdir $HOME/code3/gimpdefault/install
mkdir $HOME/code3/gimpdefault/install/share
mkdir $HOME/code3/gimpdefault/install/share/aclocal
touch $HOME/code3/gimpdefault/install/share/aclocal/gimp-2.0.m4
# Clone the software — add to this list as needed on your system.
cd $HOME/code3/gimpdefault/build
git clone git://git.gnome.org/glib
git clone git://git.gnome.org/babl
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gegl
git clone git://github.com/mypaint/libmypaint.git
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gimp
# Set up the prefix
PREFIX=$HOME/code3/gimpdefault/install
export PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# I have commented "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" to avoid a gegl error.
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $PREFIX/share/aclocal"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$PREFIX/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
# the path /usr/lib64/gio/modules works for Fedora. Other Systems have a different path
export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib64/gio/modules
export SRC_DIR=$HOME/code3/gimpdefault/build
# Build and install glib/babl/GEGL/libmypaint/GIMP in the

cd $SRC_DIR/glib
./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX
make -j4 && make -j4 install
cd $SRC_DIR/babl
./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX --disable-docs
make -j4 && make -j4 install
cd $SRC_DIR/gegl
./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX --enable-gtk-doc-html=no --enable-workshop

make -j4 && make -j4 install
cd $SRC_DIR/gimp
./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX --with-gimpdir=$HOME/code3/gimpdefault/install/config --disable-gtk-doc
make -j4 && make -j4 install
export GEGL_PATH=${PREFIX}/lib/gegl-0.3
cd $HOME/code3/gimpdefault/build/gimp/app
./gimp-2.9
The main differences are in the export commands and in the last three lines:
export GEGL_PATH=${PREFIX}/lib/gegl-0.3
cd $HOME/code3/gimpdefault/build/gimp/app
./gimp-2.9
I have yet to test it with a fresh install of Fedora 26 (or better when the 27 comes out). The reason why I put the path /code3/ is because I am super lazy and running this script by replacing the number (code4, code5, …) let’s me build an updated version of GIMP-git. Probably inneficient thought… but it seems to work!
