 |
|
I just updated Gimp to 2.0.4. When I opened Gimp, I get this little .... ?note?.
| Code: | You are using GLib version 2.4.4.
This version of GLib contains a bug affecting filename conversions. The GIMP won't be able to open any file with non-ASCII characters (e.g. umlauts) in its filename.
Please upgrade to GLib 2.4.5 or newer. |
Do I 'really' need to upgrade Glib? I'm using glib-2.4.4 at the moment. etcat shows these are available:
| Code: | root@smoker /home/dale # etcat -v glib
[ Results for search key : glib ]
[ Candidate applications found : 7 ]
Only printing found installed programs.
* dev-libs/glib :
[ I] 1.2.10-r5 (1)
[ ] 2.2.3 (2)
[ ] 2.4.0 (2)
[ ] 2.4.1 (2)
[M~ ] 2.4.2 (2)
[ I] 2.4.4 (2)
[M~ ] 2.4.5 (2)
root@smoker /home/dale # |
Looking for info before I unmask this. I have read this is a pretty crucial thing. Don't want to fsck my system. 
Any ideas? What should I do 
Thanks for the help. I did a search, I guess this is new.

| well, as long as you're able to open whatever you want, i wouldn't worry about it. otherwise, just rename it to something safe. I don't think it is a good reason to unmask the next version of glib for it. |

Thanks. I'll wait till they unmask it. At least then maybe it won't break something if I do it and there is something wrong with it.
Thanks again.
