Thanks to you and everyone else who has confirmed that.

Now you tell me! :-)
After getting the gimp tar ball, the gimp-data tar ball, I found I needed
a new version gtk+ lib, Also an updated perl-GTK distribution. (I'm
living without mpegs at the moment or the Perl/Scheme stuff.) I've also
had to persuade rpm to behave, as if I am installing the tradition way,
but installing over things managed by RPM, I should be careful.
That in the sequence
(1) ./configure --with-prefix=/usr
(2) make
(3) su
(4) make install
Step 2 is running now. However, I've just noticed that I must have done
something wrong with the prefix, as it wants to put things in /usr/local
Oh, well time to actually read the README and INSTALL.
Cheers, and apologies for the jeremiad.
