Try looking in a couple new places.  There are some in the gimp main
dialog under Xtns.  There are more under the "Filters" selection.
Things have been moved about since 2.4 was initially released and it
confused me for a bit too.

Hi,

I downloaded gimp-2.4.5.tar.bz2 and verified that the md5check sum is OK.
I un- compressed it and ran the usual
./configure --prefix=/usr/gimp-2.4.5/
make
#make install
without any visible problem.

When I run gimp I get

/usr/gimp-2.4.5/bin/gimp-2.4
Unable to read initialization file script-fu.init

Gimp looks OK. I can work with it, but I can't find the "decor" and
"Alpha-to-logo" filters, and in Xtns, Logos and other items are absent.

What is wrong?

Do you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/gimp-2.4.5/lib when running gimp?
Otherwise this can't work. You can't just install to some non-standard
prefix and run the binary there. You also need to adjust the library
search path accordingly.

Nothing has been moved in the 2.4 series since 2.4.0 was released. We
only do bug-fixes in the stable 2.4 tree. The menu locations are stable.
The only changes you might have seen in the menus are due to translation
updates.

Misunderstanding.

I actually don't have, in my GIMP-2.4.5, "decor" and "Alpha-to-logo"
filters which are normally present.
Why that?

Your install is broken. None of the Script-Fu scripts will work without the
script-fu.init file.

I un-installed GIMP-2.4.5 then I re-installed it after verifying the md5
sum.
The problem is the same.
What can I do else?

(I installed many GIMP versions before, without that kind of problem.
OpenSuse 10.2)

Hi, maybe you have re-download the installation. Because can be a data  
transfer error

This morning, I 'make clean', #make uninstall, and deleted my source
directory (where gimp-2.4.5 was un-compressed).

Then I uncompressed gimp-2.4.5.tar.bz2 into telechar/gimp-2.4.5/
Created /usr/local/gimp-2.4.5/ directory.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gimp-2.4.5/
make
#make install

No problem while processing, but my problem remains: no Decor and
Alpha-to-logo filters and this
Unable to read initialization file script-fu.init
message.

Yet, script-fu.init is in /usr/local/gimp-2.4.5/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/

Hello

I can imagine that some parsing mechanism gets confused of the '.' in
the prefix. Does it work if you use the prefix /usr/local/gimp-2-4-5
instead?

Hi all,

All files in my /usr/local/gimp-2.4.5/ are root. Is this normal?

If I run gimp-2.4.5 in root mode, I have Decor, Alpha-to-logo and all
items in Xtns!

And a new error message:

# /usr/local/gimp-2.4.5/bin/gimp-2.4
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application
did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply,
the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

My computer is connected to the Internet...
GIMP seems to work normally in root mode...

How could I get the 'scripts' directory in root mode?

The '.' characters in the prefix are not a problem. I have directories whose
names end in gimp-2.2 and gimp-2.4 as targets for test installs on my machine.

You mean they belong to root?
That's okay, it's normal.

In this case, the problem seems to be that normal users don't have
permission to read the files in scripts/ directory (or permission to
enter the scripts directory).
You should check that scripts/ directory has execute permission for
all users, and that all files in scripts/ have read permission for all
users.

In my installation, scripts/ directory has permissions 755, and its
contents have permissions 644. This happens automatically upon
installation, so I believe something strange has happened on your
system to alter the permissions. I admit I do not try altering the
prefix in the way you have, it may be an unaccounted bug.
Anyway you can work around it by making sure the scripts/ directory
has appropriate permissions, and executing 'chmod +x -R *' inside the
scripts/ directory

One other possibility is that the script-fu plugin executable does not
allow any user to execute it (only root), which can be fixed just as
readily

If one of the above turns out to be the case, we need to work out the
origin of the bug and a bug report needs to be filed later.


Hope that helps,

David

Yes, it is normal. What is more important is the permissions on the files and
directories. If everything is working properly when you are logged in as root
but not when you are logged in as a normal user, you have the wrong
permissions on the GIMP files and directories.

In my installation also, scripts/directory has permissions drwx r-x r-x
(755)
and files in it have permissions rw- r-- r-- (644).
I ran 'chmod +x -R *' inside the scripts/ directory and now all files are
rwx r-x r-x

But my problem is unchanged.

I don't understand this. Which script-fu plug-in? Where is it?

Thank you for your help,

The script-fu plugin that hosts all the scripts and runs them as
requested; script-fu is only a plug-in, it is not built into gimp.
it's in the system wide gimp plugins directory, which in your case may
be /usr/local/gimp-2.4.5/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/

Oops, sorry Julien, it can't be that, actually, looking at your
results from --verbose it seems clear that script-fu.init is the
culprit.

So, are the following files:

/usr/local/gimp-2.4.5/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/script-fu-compat.init
/usr/local/gimp-2.4.5/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/script-fu.init

readable by everyone? If not, they should be.

As all files in

/usr/local/gimp-2.4.5/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/ ,
these two files are now rwx r-x r-x

I tried after putting them julien-users instead of root-root : problem unchanged.

I add, if this could be a clue, that #umask gives 0022.
