Installing on FedoraCore 1

I have not been able to install the GIMP 2.0.1 via RPM (nor source) on Fedora Core 1 Note: GIMP 1.2.5 is already installed on a FC1 Workstation.

I keep getting hung up on unmet dependencies which I can't find through rpmfind.net.

In my latest attempt, I did a fresh workstation install of FC1 from verified media CD-ROM ISOs. I then updated ALL applications through up2date. Next I tried to install gimp-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm

Among the failed depencies was 'libgimp-1.2.so.0' which is not available as an independent package, but which I think is part of the GIMP-DEVEL package. I could be mistaken here, perhaps the .so file should be found with any existing GIMP install?

So, I installed the gimp-devel-1.2.5-1.i386.rpm

Then I tried to install gimp-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm again. I'm still getting:

libgimp-1.2.so.0 (required by xsane-gimp .91, 1) libgimp-1.2.so.0 (required by gimp-print-plugin 4.2.6, 4) libgimpui-1.2.so.0 (required by xsane-gimp .91, 1) libgimpui-1.2.so.0 (required by gimp-print-plugin 4.2.6, 4) gimp (required by gimp-devel 1.2.5, 1)

So now it's not finding the existing install of GIMP? Where does libgimp-1.2.so.0 come from? Where does libgimpui-1.2.so.0 come from?

There's no xsane-gimp package for gimp-2.0 yet and you don't need gimp-print-plugin for gimp-2.0. So the solution to your problem is to either keep gimp-1.2 installed and install gimp-2.0 in parallel or deinstall xsane-gimp and gimp-print-plugin.

I tried the patch to Xsane published on the Xsane site but Gimp still says Xsane is is not Gimp-enabled. So I am scanning separately, which is a bore. (Keeping both versions of Gimp around and remembering their differing rules woould be an even bigger bore. )
