You might want to just skip the 2.2 and 2.4 tutorials and move to the
tutorials for 2.6+ There are a lot less cosmetic/placement issues
between those versions. If you are serious about learning it, once you
get a grasp of the basics, it will be possible to watch Photoshop
tutorials and do the same thing in the gimp, since the tools are usually
there and the names are usually the same or similar. If not, a quick
search on Google will tell you the equivalent GIMP name

Thank you so much. I added the ppa and installed it and I now have gimp
2.8! But that present a question: what is the best way to go about
learning it? I tried following the tutorials on meetthegimp.org
<http://meetthegimp.org> but when he first started producing the film he
was using gimp 2.2 and the differences between 2.2 and 2.6 were
confusing. Now we're at 2.8. I was thinking of following their manual
(http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/) and trying to learn that way but I
thought I should ask those in the know :D If this is the best way is
there a way to wget the manual and then to turn that into a pdf? or
would you not recommend that?

BTW, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEAP-CS__pU would seem to
indicate there is no need to compile, just follow the instructions
for ubuntu/debian and install the PPA and go to it.

Why do you always do things the hard way and seem not to bother
researching your question? Try doing a google search on "gimp
2.8 mint" (without the quotes) and you will get lots of hits.
If you do want to compile it look at

okay.... I want to install gimp 2.8 (I run mint... not
ubuntu). I ran configure and it hung saying babl isn't
installed. I go to a webpage and it says that it is kept in
a git repository. HOw do I install it into the directory it
is supposed to be installed in? hmmmmm.... i just ran 'find
bal|grep babl' and found where babl is installed is
installed. How do I tell it to do what I need to tell it?
