the system data directory... the error is approximately...
/usr/local/share/gimp/user_install [or something] does not exist.
It is just you! Doing a clean installation does not only involve
removing the installed stuff. You should clean your source directory
too and rerun autogen.sh. The problem you see is caused by the fact
that you did not correctly rebuild llibgimp/gimpenv.o.

The feature freeze has also thawed again. I can't tell if the new
trouble I'm seeing is caused by changes to the installer in /app/
but I shouldn't have to, because IT SHOULD NOT BE BEING REPLACED
DURING THE FREEZE.

I will try to ignore the stupidity and ignorance you are expressing...
I apologise for shouting, but AFAICT again all the existing bugs
or misfeatures of the old dialog are retained, but now we have
new bugs and a prettier interface, pardon me if I'm not impressed,
but right now I can't even install Gimp :(
At least bug #7307 was fixed by our changes.
The problem that people do not adjust important parameters like the
tile_cache_size was discussed several times and each time the only
reasonable solution was to ask for it during the user installation.
I have announced at least twice that I'm planning to change it
and noone objected.
Please, think about what you have said. We have put a lot of work
into this and tried to test everything. You should also not forget
that Mitch and me are the ones who fix the bugs, not you!
Salut, Sven
