Re: upgrading strategy for gimp, gtk+, glib etc

[Niels Walet]

have a look at this link
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11086, it
suggests it is doable, but indeed has some dependencies. This German site
 on
sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/augustusburg/) suggest they
have ready-made gimp 2.4 for centos/RHEL; should probably work for you as
 well.
