 Yes, I'm currently using Gimp 2.8 on Fedora 16, compiled it from
 source. There is a guide in this site at
 http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/compiling-gimp-for-ubuntu; it talks
 about Ubuntu, but pretty much everything applies to Fedora, or is easy
 to adapt.

Thanks for the hints.
Historically, I always needed to upgrade babl and gegl, but 2.8 required
an new version of some other libs (gtk2?) that I couldn't work out.

I finally managed to get 2.8 running on Fedora 14 (!) but it made the
system instable. Can't wait for F17 to come out...

 Yes, there are dependencies within the dependencies, but all of them
 can be installed using the same procedure; and, if you put everything
 under a separate directory (I used /opt/gimp-2.8, for example),
 dependencies included, then you should not experience any instability.

Most libs need to be built on the target system, and require other libs
(and include files, and so on). This makes it very difficult to 'put
everything' somewhere else. Yet, it can be done, though...
I just blew it :(

As long as you have the required dependencies (or build them for your 
machine), you should have no trouble building GIMP under any version of Fedora.


If you have a specific problem with trying to build GIMP for Fedora 17 then 
state it so someone on this list might be able to give you more specific help.
