Description Steve Hall 2005-03-07 03:15:07 UTC

When trying to start GIMP, get a dialog:

  GLib version too old (micro mismatch)

  The GIMP requires GLIB+ version 2.4.5 or later.
  Installed GLib+ version is 2.4.0

  Somehow you or your software packager managed
  to install The GIMP with an older GLib+ version.

  Please upgrade to GLib+ version 2.4.5 or later.

This is from a straight-as-I-can-tell, standard-repository-updated Fedora Core
3, not testing or devel. I've seen this for months, just figured everybody would
see it and it would get fixed until I needed GIMP again. Apparently no FC users
use GIMP, or I have a more localized issue. :)

Be glad to do diagnostics or testing as needed.

Please include the exact versions of gimp, gtk2 and glib2 installed on your
system ("rpm -q gimp gtk2 glib2"). "Updated FC3" doesn't help me much as you
could either have updated from an out-of-sync mirror or I could have looked at
this only later with no easy way to determine what was up to date when you
issued this bug.

Comment 2 Steve Hall 2005-03-07 13:31:40 UTC

Using your command, I obtained this version info:

  $ rpm -q gimp gtk2 glib2
  gimp-2.2.3-0.fc3.2
  gtk2-2.4.14-2.fc3
  glib2-2.2.3-1
  glib2-2.4.0-1

No idea why I would have two glib2 packages installed, but doing

  yum remove glib2-2.2.3-1

produced

  Remove: ORBit2-devel.i386 1:2.8.2-1
  Remove: glib2-devel.i386 1:2.2.3-1
  Remove: gtk2-devel.i386 0:2.4.14-2.fc3
  Remove: pango-devel.i386 0:1.6.0-7
  Update: glib2.i386 0:2.4.8-1.fc3
  Update: glib2-devel.i386 0:2.4.8-1.fc3

which solved the problem, GIMP now starts for me.
