[OpenIndiana-discuss] Software issues (GIMP, Audacity)

Hello, everyone. I've been having some issues with software running in 
OpenIndiana lately, and was wondering if anyone in the email group might 
have some solutions.

First, GIMP refuses to open JPEG, PNG and many other file formats I've 
tried. GIMP was working fine and imported JPEG, PNG and other formats 
fine until I updated all packages recently, which must've included GIMP. 
Since, I've got it to open PDF files and XCF files, but it gives error 
messages when trying to open any other format:

"Plug-in crashed: 'file-jpeg'" (the same error is present with PNG and 
other formats, except the plug-in name is different)

"Procedure 'file-jpeg-load' returned no return values" (the same error 
is present with PNG and other formats, except the procedure name is 
different)

Second, Audacity. I've never got Audacity to run in OpenIndiana. Trying 
to launch it from the Applications menu does nothing. Trying to launch 
from the command line gives the following error:

ld.so.1: audacity: fatal: libwx_gtk3u_html-3.1.so.5: open failed: No 
such file or directory
ld.so.1: audacity: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/bin/audacity: 
symbol _ZTV21wxHtmlFilterPlainText: referenced symbol not found
Killed

Is there any way to get Audacity to work?

I know the OS email list might not be the best place for 
software-specific discussion, but these applications (at least Audacity) 
work fine on other platforms. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
