It worked.

"which rm" -> "/sw/bin/rm" (there's also /bin/rm)

moved /sw/bin/rm to /sw/bin/rm.ori;

"which rm" -> "/bin/rm"

after which, a new attempt to install gimp2 succeeded.

Two questions remain:
1. What's wrong with /sw/bin/rm? (I'll start a separate thread for this.)
2. The terminal output from the installation showed literally 
hundreds (more likely thousands) of lines like

symbol _XmlInitEncodingNS used from dynamic library \ 
/usr/X11R6/lib/libexpat.1.dylib(xmltok.o) not from earlier \
dynamic library /sw/lib/libexpat.0.dylib(xmltok.lo)

(linebreaks and backslashes mine)

and

ld: warning prebinding not disabled because \
(__LINKEDIT segment (address = 0x9000 size = 0x15000) of \
/sw/lib/libintl.3.dylib overlaps with __TEXT segment \
(address = 0x0 size = 0x1d000) of /sw/lib/libexpat.0.dylib

Do these lines indicate some problem that could be "treated"?

Many thanks,

Jonathan
