Without thinking all that hard about the details of your problem, why don't you just compile gimp from source? Then you'll find out what you really need to compile/install.
Tip: use 'checkinstall' instead of 'make install'. It'll do a 'make install' for you and make custom RPMs of anything your installing. Then you can cleanly remove programs down the road and delete the bloated directory where you compile any given program. Just my 2 bits.
