Got it built from source, but I have a few questions.  Are there users on
this group who build from source?

You might try asking your questions; if someone can answer them they will.

Nearly all the time. I was on a Mandrake 10.0 system and I got annoyed 
that I was still stuck with gimp-1.2.5, so I grabbed the source and 
compiled it myself.

Right.  I've got it up and running on this old RH9 machine.  Had to put
things in /usr/local and leave old files alone.  The problem that I'm
having is that the help files are not compiled / installed.  When I get a
bit of time (I'm fiddling with something else right now) I'll do an install
and redirect the output to a file where I can search for a message about
help.  If that does not work, I'll come back and ask if anyone has a
solution.  I don't have enough info yet to post the question ;o)

I really like gimp-2.2.3.  I had to install about 30-35 libraries to upgrade
this machine so that gimp would fly.  It's sorta RH-9.5...

The help files are under development for the next stable release and are
installed separately. Go here to download the latest version and install
the usual './configure, make, su, make install' way.

ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/help/testing

2-0.7 is the latest version.
