If you have gimp-print installed, remove this option. : This option is necessary if libjpeg is not installed. Remove it if libjpeg is installed. : This option is necessary if libtiff is not installed. Remove it if libtiff is installed.

It works with a variety of image formats and provides a large selection of tools. gimp-2.2 gimp-remote is a symbolic link to gimp-remote-2.2. gimp-remote gimp-remote-2.2 is a small utility that tells a running GIMP to open a local or remote image file. gimp-remote-2.2 gimptool-2.0 is a tool that can build plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file. gimptool-2.0 can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries and include-paths GIMP was compiled with. gimptool-2.0 libgimp-2.0.so provides C bindings for GIMP's Procedural Database (PDB) which offers an interface to core functions and to functionality provided by plug-ins. libgimp-2.0.so libgimpbase-2.0.so provides the C functions for basic GIMP functionality such as determining enumeration data types, gettext translation, determining GIMP's version number and capabilities, handling data files and accessing the environment. libgimpbase-2.0.so libgimpcolor-2.0.so provides the C functions relating to RGB, HSV and CMYK colors as well as converting colors between different color models and performing adaptive supersampling on an area. libgimpcolor-2.0.so libgimpmath-2.0.so contains C functions which provide mathematical definitions and macros, manipulate 3x3 transformation matrices, set up and manipulate vectors and the MD5 message-digest algorithm. libgimpmath-2.0.so libgimpmodule-2.0.so provides the C functions which implements module loading using GModule and keeps a list of GimpModule's found in a given searchpath. libgimpmodule-2.0.so libgimpthumb-2.0.so provides the C functions for handling GIMP's thumbnail objects. libgimpthumb-2.0.so libgimpui-2.0.so contains the GIMP common user interface functions. libgimpui-2.0.so libgimpwidgets-2.0.so contains GIMP and GTK widget creation and manipulation functions. libgimpwidgets-2.0.so
