This is something that I've muddled through many
times, but never had a good idea of what I was
actually doing.  If someone could give a good
explanation of the ideas behind the actions, I would
be very happy and thankful.

I just decided to attempt to "upgrade" Gimp on my
machine (which I guess is just the same as installing
from scratch).  I'm running RH9, but I could only find
an RPM for Fedora Core 1.  I didn't think it was the
right one for me, but I got it and tried it anyway,
but was then faced with a long list of dependencies
that need to be taken care of first.  I've found some
of them in tarballs, zipped in various formats, but
now what?  How do I get them into thier proper places,
configured properly, and such

Any help would be appreciated.
(I wouldn't mind seeing something like this at an UUG
meeting, but I think I'm the only real newbie that
occasionally attends (sorry, astronomy's not my
thing)).
