GIMP on AMD64 issues?
Has anyone had issues installing GIMP for the amd64 release from the ports collection? I've tried installing it but it stalls after downloading qt4. I've also tried adding the GIMP package with pkg_add, but that doesn't work either. Just wondering if GIMP has been updated for 4.6 release/amd64.

I am splitting your message from the original thread due to your specific OpenBSD package questions posted to an generic informational thread.

I tried installing Gimp in /usr/ports/graphics/gimp by typing "sudo make install && sudo make clean." This works until it downloads qt4 at which point it stalls.
I tried getting the binaries from http://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/4.6/packages/amd64 by using "sudo pkg_add -iv ftp://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/4.6/packages/amd64/gimp." This also did not work. I'm going to take your advice and try another mirror. I have a hunch that qt4 might need java to compile, which is what I'm spending my day doing right now. Not for gimp, but to have Java on my machine. I'm not really looking for directions b/c I've installed gimp via packages and ports before on previous versions of OpenBSD. I know what I'm doing to some extent. I was looking for someone with an amd64 to say either "It works for my machine, you're doing something wrong." or "I've had the same problem, too." I'm very grateful that anyone has taken the time to read my comment and had any feedback to give. This is a great community and OpenBSD is a great operating system. |

A quick search on the ports@ mailing list didn't reveal any prior discussion on anyone else having problems with downloading portions of QT4. I, however, have had similar issues with other ports. Usually it takes awhile (a week or so...) for things to reach normalcy again. Quote:
Code:
$ cd /usr/ports/x11/qt4 $ sudo make print-build-depends ... $ sudo make print-run-depends ... $ Also be aware that JDK 1.7 is available as a package. Older versions will always require local building due to licensing issues. For more information, see Section 8.3 of the FAQ. |

Thanks Ocicat. I looked up one of your suggestions from the your first reply yesterday and discovered the problem lies in the ftp mirror site I've been using for the longest time. They didn't have all the latest packages, which is why I couldn't pkg_add Gimp and a few other programs I had been trying to install even though I was able to install them on amd64 on OpenBSD 4.5.
It's just that the mirror: ftppenbsd.mirrors.pair.com doesn't have every single file, which explains why qt4 didn't work b/c it was looking for "poppler", which didn't exist on that site yesterday or the weeks before. It wasn't a Java issue at all. I'm using another mirror now that has so far been very reliable and fast, too. Once again, thanks for your support and guidance without which I would not have been able to pinpoint the problem and resolve the issue. |
