Out of curiosity I tried to install Gimp 2.6.6 on Debian Lenny, where is the version that I run 2.4.7.I steps

are simple. Once you have checked that you have to compile and that is the essential build-essential, and a pair of dependencies

necessary:

# Apt-get install libgegl-0.0-dev

do is download the sources from here and compile it:

gimp-2.6.6.tar.bz2 tar-xjf

cd gimp-2.6.6

apt-get build-dep gimp

. / configure

make

# Make install

instead of make install would be better to use checkinstall, clearly after you install it. If once started would

present an error screen like the one below, is resolved by removing gimp-data.
