For example, it has libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2, whereas gimp I think needs 2.24 or later. The included version of gimp is 2.6.10. At a guess Henry will need to build . gimp . gegl . babl . pango . gtk2 . gdk2 . atk . gtk-pixbuf . harfbuzz (I think) . cairo . pixman . glib Probably a new autoconf will be needed, and likely a new gcc, libc, and more. Compare . http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/gimp . http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/gimp The tutorial for ubuntu would work with a newer Debian release. However, http://azul.m.iguel.net/Blog/?entrada=73 has instructions for building gimp 2.8 on Squeeze.
