Then I would build it in /opt rather than mess up your home directory. So do configure like this ./configure --prefix=/opt (plus any other options you want) make Then su to root make install Then you will end up with all the libraries and binaries in /opt Also a .gimp-2.1 directory will be created in your home directory that will contail all the brushes and gradients etc like in your current .gimp-2.0 directory (or .gimp-1.2). To start your gimp-2.1, you will need to issue /opt/bin/gimp-2.1 Try that and see what happens.
