Ok, this fixes the lua part of the problem.

Then after that install I restarted Gimp, and Lua also had namespace
issues, but then looking closer I saw that JavaScript also had namespace
issues... But the Wiki page you pointed to had a similar question and
its answer helped me figure out that somehow the GI_TYPELIB_PATH wasn't
defined. After setting it to:

export
GI_TYPELIB_PATH="${GIMP_PREFIX}/lib/girepository-1.0:${GIMP_PREFIX}/lib/${arch}/girepository-1.0:$GI_TYPELIB_PATH"

... everything looks fine and dandy.

But this raises another question: I have three well-populated
"girepository-1.0" directories in /usr, how comes nothing seems to
define a GI_TYPELIB_PATH variable in the user environment?


Thanks to all.
