Installed but won't startup

Hi again.

I compiled gimp-2.0.1 relatively painlessly, but when I try to start it from a command line, I get the following error:

$ gimp-2.0 gimp-2.0: error while loading shared libraries: libgimpwidgets-2.0.so.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

I also noticed that in neither my home or root directories, was the .gimp-2.0 directory was not created?? Can anyone help me out with this one? Thanks.

You probably need to do ldconfig or something to update the list of shared libraries.

The directory is created when you first run the app successfully.

Thanks.
Running _ldconfig_ did the trick.

In which path did you build gimp ? /usr/local ? /opt/ ?

You should add the path to the library in your /etc/ld.so.conf and rerun ldconfig

or write a wrapper like this one (I suppose in theis case gimp has been built with ./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.0):

#! /bin/sh LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.0/lib
/opt/gimp-2.0/bin/gimp
