I recently tried to install Gimp 2.8.0 and ran into some dependency issues. Here are the following things I needed to install to get the ./configure to complete successfully:

  • babl-0.1.10
  • gegl-0.2.0
  • atk-2.4.0
  • gtk+ 2.24.11
    • pango-1.30.1

After completing the install, my interfaces seem to be messed up. For example, when I run Sublime Text 2, I receive the following errors:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

In addition, menus and UI's in various programs look odd (similar to Win95).

When I had finished installing Gimp, I had received some sort of message along the lines of something returning version 2.24.11, yet it found 2.24.10, signifying that both were installed. To solve that problem I had to run sudo ldconfig.

Any idea on what's going on here and how to solve it?

why not use the available PPAs for installing Gimp2.8? Compiling is also fine but what version of Ubuntu are you using? – Bruno Pereira♦ Aug 1 '12 at 22:17
I'm using 12.10 for compatibility w/ the Asus UX32VD. That sounds like a great thing to do in hindsight, but I've already screwed the pooch, as they say. – Nick Aug 1 '12 at 22:27
Lets try to sort this out then ;) – Bruno Pereira♦ Aug 1 '12 at 22:28
Do you think that re-installing Ubuntu on top of my current install (effectively rewriting, but not formatting) might sort this out? – Nick Aug 2 '12 at 13:46
The proposed fix I mentioned in the comment above did not work. I ended up performing a clean install of the system. – Nick Aug 6 '12 at 13:22
