Gimp 2.4.1 problems with openSuse 10.3

Hi,

I've got the following problem with a self-compiled Gimp 2.4.1 on an openSuse 10.3 box (x86_64) when doing a simple "File->New" with no image open before:

[prompt]/home/steve: gimp *** glibc detected *** gimp: double free or corruption (out): 0x00000000037f2e40 ***
Killed

Glib2 and Gtk2 and the development packages are from the distribution itself:

[prompt]/home/steve: rpm -q glib2 glib2-2.14.1-4
[prompt]/home/steve: rpm -q gtk2
gtk2-2.12.0-5.2

Somebody out there who can reproduce this ?

Thanks & kind regards, Stephan.

Gimp 2.4.1 problems with openSuse 10.3

Checked on openSuse 10.3 (x86_64, AMD) with last updates installed.
Work fine, without described error.
Configure options:

--prefix=/home/alex/programs/gimp --disable-default-binary --disable-python

Gimp 2.4.1 problems with openSuse 10.3

Alex,

All clear.

Thanks for the rpm -q output. Exactly the same like on my box.

Further analysis revealed: The problem is, that Gimp 2.4.1 tries to convert existing .gimp-2.2 resp. .gimp-2.3 directories to .gimp-2.4. This doesn't seem to be perfect. My guess (just a guess !): the templates aren't converted properly, that's why it fails when trying to open a new canvas with "File->New".

Removing all pre-existing .gimp-2.2 and .gimp-2.3 directories and letting Gimp create a brand-new .gimp-2.4 directory makes the problem disappearing.

My configure options are the defaults (incl. python), except that I've chosen another --prefix.

Kind regards, Stephan.

Thanks Alex,

Could you please invoke (see below)

rpm -q glib2 rpm -q gtk2

for me and send me the output ?

... and I'll try your configuration options.

Kind regards, Stephan.

There have been reports about such problems and they were caused by buggy GTK+ themes.

Could you try to isolate the problem further? It would help a lot if you could show us a templaterc file from your ~/.gimp-2.2 directory and the result of the migration to gimp-2.4. This sounds like a problem that should be fixed for 2.4.2.
