in thread install gimp, gimp::fu

Thanks for your help. I installed the packages and then tried to install Gimp: . It failed tests 19-20 & 25-26 and exited without installing. I'm getting a feeling that it's just a bridge too far.

    <lePetitSarcasm> it not possible module not updated since 2001 not pass all test, sacre bleu </lePetitSarcasm>

    It appears you're ahead of the game, you got the module to compile

    I say try the examples, and if they do what they say they're doing , go ahead and install, and run with it

    update: Or try http://search.cpan.org/~sjburges/Gimp/

      I was launching gimp from a perl script (batch file) and it was complaining about missing libgimpui-2.0-0.dll

      The problem was %userprofile% was set to a shortpath, and this old version of gimp.exe didn't like it

      Solution was reset USERPROFILE=%homedrive%%HOMEPATH%

    Works for me in a Debian Sid with Gimp 2.6:

    Cpan install Gimp::Eval Running make for S/SJ/SJBURGES/Gimp-2.2pre1.tar.gz ... Hopefully, Gimp is now correctly configured. you can now enter "make", + "make test" and "make install". ... make -- OK... All tests successful... make test -- OK... make install -- OK
