 This is your personal opinion and absolutely off-topic. Please refrain
 from such comments in the future. If you want to discuss Linux
 distributions, there are plenty of places where such a discussion is
 welcome. It doesn't belong here.

Besides the fact that it's equally hard in Slack and Ubuntu for a newbie to 
compile gimp 2.3.19 with pkg install paths, etc.

 If you have to ask such questions, then you should better not
 compile any software from source. Stick with the packages that your
 distribution offers because you are likely going to screw things up
 badly. You have been warned.

 You can of course also go ahead and read the documentation that
 comes with your linker (man ld) and with pkg-config (man
 pkg-config). It would also be a good idea to read the GTK+ manual,
 in particular the chapters about building GTK+ and building GTK+
 applications
 (http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html). And
 last but not least the release notes for the GIMP development
 releases (http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.3.html).

 Before installing GIMP-2.3.19, I installed glib-2.13.7 (under suse-10.2)
 from source.

Why did you do that? glib-2.13 is an unstable development release.
Better stick to the version of glib that is already on your system. glib
2.12.4 is new enough.

To uninstall glib 2.13.7, go to the source directory and type 'make
uninstall' as root.

I had the same problem under Ubuntu but with the GTK+.

After installing GTK+-2.10.13 from source I've got the same error
message that this modversion returns 2.10.13 but 2.10.11 was found. Now
what I have to do to get rid of the 2.10.11 version? Where I can find
this  LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or what I have to write in
/etc/ld.so.conf? Thanks in advance for any help!
