gimp 2.6.1 fails to build in Leopard or Tiger

[shelleyp@…]

GIMP 2.6.1 failed to build in Tiger, but that was mainly because of dependency failures, each of which have been reported.

However, GIMP 2.6.1 failed to build on my Leopard machine, and it is the GIMP package that is failing.

Following is the bottom part of the error message I'm getting:

Undefined symbols:
  "_poppler_page_render_to_pixbuf", referenced from:
      _get_thumbnail in file_pdf-file-pdf.o
      _run in file_pdf-file-pdf.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [file-pdf] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I searched for and could not find a matching bug.

Can you provide a bit more of the error output. In particular, which port is currently being built and the command that was being executed. Are you installing the gimp port or gimp2? The gimp port is a meta port which installs nothing itself, it just has dependencies which get built. gimp2 to the main application itself but without all the bells and whistles that port gimp adds.

Please run (assuming it is the gimp that you are installing not gimp2)

sudo port -d install gimp

and report that back?

It should pickup where you left off and just show the final error.

Don't forget to use wiki formating, as I just did, so it can be easily read.

Have you succeeded in building on Tiger or are there outstanding problems there as well?

Thanks
