gimprc confusion
Hi,
I had gimp-cvs installed in /opt/gimp and wanted to use gimp-2.2 to print some photos. I was getting errors starting gimp-2.2 so I ran make install on gimp-cvs but 2.2. failed to start thowing up half a dozen errors.
$ gimp
GIMP: Error while parsing '/home/prof/.gimp-2.3/gimprc' in line 11:
invalid valu
e 'lanczos' for token interpolation-type
GIMP: There was an error parsing your 'gimprc' file. Default values will

c~'.

etc.
The cause is pretty clear but why is it using the gimprc in .gimp-2.3 ?! There is alsa a .gimp-2.2 for this user but it taking a directory specifically named as another version.
Having deleted both the .gimp* configs I restart 2.2 and get the orange dlg "Gimp user installation" that tells me it needs create "a folder named /home/user/.gimp-2.3" . YES gimp 2.2 wants to install it's config as gimp-2.3 .
What is the mechanism leading to this error?
Thanks for any clarification.

What do I need to clean out to be able to run gimp-2.2 ?
You should start by confirming what exactly
$ gimp
is and what it does run.
HTH, Michael

gimp-2.2 is picking up the libraries from gimp-2.3. That is exactly why the release notes ask you to install into a separate prefix which is not in your library search path. Just make sure that 2.2 isn't started with a library search path that includes the location where you installed gimp-2.3.

Because the version number is in the library. You also would want your plug-ins to use ~/.gimp-2.3 when you are running gimp-2.3. Even plug-ins that were compiled against an older version of the gimp libraries.

Still can't clear this out.
I have run make uninstall on 2.3.13 , uninstalled the distro pkg 2.2.12 and gimp-print-4.7
then I went through the whole system with a file browser and removed anything remotely looking to be gimp related.
Then rebuild distro package from source , but when I run it , it still wants to set up the configs in ~/.gimp-2.3
What is "the library" refered to above? Can someone suggest something I can run through 'find' to locate whatever cruft is lying around on this system?
TIA.

There's 'ldd' to check what libs a binary is picking up. That should help you to figure it out.
