GEGL dependencies

[rich2005]

Latest GIMP_AppImage-git-2.10.23-20201217-withplugins-x86_64.AppImage fails

some info app: make "gegl:introspect" an optional operation dependency. Check at runtime for the operation availability and set the "Show Image Graph" action active depending on this check. This goes with discussions to make this operation optional with a runtime check for the tool dot.

and INSTALL: adding infos about dot for "gegl:introspect" dependency. Especially now that this is not a blocking build dependency on GEGL, we want to have the information somewhere so that packagers (and other people building GIMP themselves) know this is at least an optional runtime dependency.

Still not working here: kubuntu 18.04 and GIMP_AppImage-git-2.10.23-20201231-withplugins-x86_64.AppImage

same message as last two 2.10.23 release

GEGL operation missing!

GIMP requires the GEGL operation "gegl:introspect". This operation cannot be found. Check your GEGL install and ensure it has been compiled with any dependencies required for GIMP.

Not sure I can help, but I have no problem running the last several appImage versions of GIMP (Including the latest Dec 31st version) under Ubuntu 20.04. I have used the Dec 23rd version extensively the past few days with no issues. Maybe it's sosmething related to your system?

I'm having the same problem under Linux Mint 19.2 which is based of ubuntu 18.04 right? same problem, "gegl:introspect", install dependencies required for gimp. Since the same version, since some 3 to 4 releases ago of 2.10.23

[rich2005]

Maybe not so much the system as to packages added. Must be missing some 'extra'

I already tried previous (Dec 17 ) version on kubuntu 20.04 and get the error message. Same with latest version.

Will plough-on see if I can find something.

Same issue as Rich2005 using Linux Mint 20.

Same issue still on latest builds

The solution is install graphviz packages. However that dependency seems to be optional as previous post

INSTALL: adding infos about dot for "gegl:introspect" dependency. Especially now that this is not a blocking build dependency on GEGL, we want to have the information somewhere so that packagers (and other people building GIMP themselves) know this is at least an optional runtime dependency.

This trick worked for me on Ubuntu-MATE 20.04 Thanks a lot

i tried the same graphviz solution and it worked for me too

[StefanBruens]

Instead of depending on graphviz, it can be made optional by cherry-picking https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/commit/2cae9b9acf9da98c4c9990819ffbd5aabe23017e

I encountered this Problem but with the Arch gimp package today, Gimp refusing to start with error gegl:introspect not found installing graphviz also did the job for me

I ran into this problem on Debian testing (bullseye) today and installing the graphviz package fixed it too. Thanks!

Installing package graphviz in Debian Sid worked for me too. Thanks a lot

in my case this issue was caused by firejail (Debian sid)
