Hello all...

I'm running DSL 1.1 with the toram option.

Loaded Gimp-2.2.0.dsl from emelfm.

When I start Gimp (from icon or menu) I immeadiately get a pop up that says:
Free Type version too old. GIMP requires Free Type version 2.1.7 or later.
Installed Free Type version is 2.1.5.

I searched the forums but didn't see any other posts relating to this error.

Any fixes??

Well...I'm not sure exactly what happened. But I rebooted DSL for a fresh load and ONLY loaded Gimp 2.2.0.dsl and it worked fine.

Previously I had loaded some other .dsl apps and one of them must have apparently downgraded Freetype??

I had loaded quite a few apps so I'm not sure which was the offensive one. (Mplayer, Xine, dsl-dpkg, gnu-utils, gt2k, etc., etc.)

If I notice which app is changing the FreeType setting I'll be sure to post it.

I believe the problem was the version of gnu-utils.dsl.

When I load the one found in /mydsl/system I get the Free Type error.

When I load the one found in /mydsl Gimp 2.2 seems to run fine.

We might want to replicate the newer version to /mydsl/system so others don't have problems either.

Also if I load gtk2.dsl after Gimp 2.2 is loaded the Free Type 2.1.7 problem re-appears.

Then I guess it's time to upgrade the gtk2.dsl again..

Thanks for the feedback..

Curious about the gnu-utils, there is only one copy ..
The other one is only a symlink , or so I believed..

See if you get a different md5sum from those two.
