Gimp 2.0.4 seemed to old to me so I added gimp in package.keywords and emerged the 2.2.6 version. I had installed gimp 2.04 and gimp 1.2.x at this point. Gimp 2.2.6 compiled without any errors but at startup I get the following error. "gimp-2.2: symbol lookup error: gimp-2.2: undefined symbol: gimp_enum_set_value_descriptions" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Update gimp to 2.2.x 2.

After hours I got it working now. Gimp 2.2.x seems to need new versions of libraries within "/usr/local/lib". So I deinstalled all my gimp-versions. Funnily enough the gimp-files in this directory were not removed. So I did a "rm libgimp*" and a "rm -r pkgconfig" within that directory and after that an "emerge gimp" and now it works flawlessly. Maybe someone could update the ebuild to fix this. I would do it myself but as I am completely new to ebuild scripting I thought the rather complex one of gimp would not be a good starting point.
> within "/usr/local/lib Gentoo doesn't install anything in /usr/local. The problem seems to be on your side.
Sorry for the problems then. I think I had a gimp version installed manually before which was causing the troubles. Sorry for the inconveniences again.
