GIMP doesnt run -- please help

[needee]

OS: SLES 9
To install gimp-2.0.2-1.4(comes with NLD 9 media) on SLES 9, first I installed two rpms from NLD 9 media

# rpm -q libcroco
libcroco-0.5.1-2.1

# rpm -q libwmf
libwmf-0.2.8.2-88.2

After installing the above two rpms, I easily installed "gimp-2.0.2-1.4" from NLD 9 media.

# rpm -q gimp
gimp-2.0.2-1.4

Problem is that when I tries to run/execute gimp, it gives the following error

# /opt/gnome/bin/gimp
/opt/gnome/bin/gimp: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/gnome/bin/gimp: undefined symbol: gdk_threads_lock

Please help me run the "GIMP"

I have OpenSUSE but try to use YAST to install packages rather than rpm. I have found installing via YAST usually sorts out package dependencies.

Thanks Jonathan183 for help

dependencies are not the issue in my case. gimp and all its dependencies has been installed smoothly and without any issue/error.

Problem is that when I tries to run/execute gimp, it gives the following error

# /opt/gnome/bin/gimp
/opt/gnome/bin/gimp: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/gnome/bin/gimp: undefined symbol: gdk_threads_lock

I don't know anything about GIMP but that is most likely a missing dependency. See some library might be defining this symbol and this symbol is used by one of the gimp assemblies (as it appears in your error message). It is quite possible that the version of the lib you have does not address this.

My suggestion: go to Yast2 and install GIMP from there.

thanks all
issue resolved by following procedure
1, configure/add the NLD 9 media in YAST install_source
2, yast2 > Software > Install and Remove Software
3, Search for "glib" and "gtk", then install/upgrade all the packages/rpms.

DONE

Now I have installed and running gimp/firefox/evolution/OpenOffice all from NLD 9 media.

Thanks
