I have been updating all my machines to gimp 2.2.10. It works fine on all of them except for my HP ZD 7000 laptop. 2.2.0 worked fine on this box. I'm getting the infamous wire_read error whenever I try to open a file. I've googled for some time and there seem to be countless solutions, none of which work for me. The error I get is:

Segmentation fault jim@mugsy:~/programs/media/gimp-2.2.10> (script-fu:8117): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error

Any help here?

TIA,

Jim

that is a message that is sent by a healthy script-fu server when gimp crashes.

i wonder if your gimp is using the old gimp libraries.

I don't think so. Here is a ldd dump:

did you build this gimp yourself or did your distribution install it?

I built it myself, which I am accustomed to doing. I am on SuSE 9.0 boxes, so everything basically goes into /opt/gnome.

one quick way to check to see if it is using the wrong library is to: jim@mugsy:~> whereis gimp

and

jim@mugsy:~> whereis libgimp

They are both correct.

if you have some gimp stuff in /usr/lib and also in /usr/local/lib that would be what is making the crash.

if you still have the gimp-2.2.0 sources around, as root, "make uninstall" and then in the new gimp-2.2.10 sources, "make install" again.

I also had already done this. I don't like stray stuff laying around.

let me know how this goes

Thanks for you help.

Here's some more info. I ran gcc on it and here is the debug info after trying to open a file:
