Gimp has recently become unable to open images using URI's, e.g.- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- curlew:/home/mike% gimp -c "http://www.freebsd.org/layout/images/beastie.png" Failed to connect to socket /tmp/fam-mike/fam- (gimp:27650): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=3 GIMP-Error: Opening 'http://www.freebsd.org/layout/images/beastie.png' failed: Could not open 'http://www.freebsd.org/layout/images/beastie.png' for reading: No such file or directory ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above is with gimp-app-2.6.12_1,1 compiled from ports with default options running under FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE, all ports are up to date and there are no missing dependencies. I had similar problems in the past and managed to "fix" it by adding "--without-gvfs" to the options in the Makefile but the problem reappeared after a recent upgrade to my ports. The port upgrade didn't touch gimp-app so I assume the problem is caused by some dependency which has been upgraded. I've tried rebuilding gimp-app both with and without my Makefile hack and with and without GVFS in the config options but with no success. The error message above is after rebuilding from a freshly downloaded copy of the port to ensure none of my old edits remained and with the default options in make config. It might be significant that the directory /tmp/fam-mike does not exist. I tried creating it but gimp produced an error "Socket directory /tmp/fam-mike has wrong permissions" and promptly deleted the directory. Recreating /tmp/fam-mike with permissions 700 got rid of the "wrong permissions" message but still failed to cure the problem. Google searches haven't come up with anything directly relevant to my problem but do imply that the problem could be related to devel/gamin. Could anyone offer any suggestions on how to go about resolving this? -- Mike Clarke
