From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050109 Fedora/1.7.5-3 Description of problem: After recent update of GIMP I failed to launch it on GNOME menu. The GIMP Message window opens and it contains following message: FreeType version too old! The GIMP requires FreeType version 2.1.7 or later. Installed FreeType version is 2.1.5. Somehow you or your software packager managed to install The GIMP with an older FreeType version. Please upgrade to FreeType version 2.1.7 or later. I have following freetype packages installed (rpm -qa | grep freetype): freetype-2.1.9-1 freetype-demos-2.1.9-1 freetype-devel-2.1.9-1 freetype-utils-2.1.9-1 and I have flowwing gimp packages () gimp-print-utils-4.2.7-2 gimp-print-4.2.7-2 gimp-2.2.2-0.fc3.3 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gimp-2.2.2-0.fc3.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on the Start button (red hat) 2. Select Graphics 3. Select The Gimp Actual Results: GIMP Message window appears. After a click on OK, it dissapears, and the Gimp is never launched. Expected Results: The Gimp launches properly. Additional info:
Perhaps you have some stray old version of freetype lying around... What does the command "ldd /usr/bin/gimp-2.2" give?

Look at this: libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00ba3000) --> you're not using the packaged version of freetype (but some older version installed into /usr/local). Ensure that: - either there is no mention of /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf (or the files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d) - or /usr/lib is mentioned before /usr/local/lib
