In /usr/local/bin look for gimp-1.3. It is really Gimp-2.0. 
Copy or link that file to gimp in the same directory and 
you are in business. 

I run Slackware 9.1. YMMV

The old GIMP installs the binary gimp-1.2 and the new one installs gimp-1.3 
(this will eventually be gimp-2.0).

While we are not in a stable release, the gimp binary will be a symlink to 
gimp-1.2 - once we are stable, we will enable by default the option to have gimp 
point to gimp-2.0.

So - to answer your question - the GIMP binary you're looking for is gimp-1.3 - 
if you want to have /usr/local/bin/gimp point at this, add the argument 
--enable-default-binary to your call to configure.

Cheers,
Dave.

What you are seeing is a plug-in crash - likely because the plug-in has
not been ported to work with GIMP 2.0.

Is this at start-up? This is a 3rd party plug-in, so it's not really supported 
by us. I can tell you that a 1.2 plug-in that you copy directly into the 
plug-ins directory of 1.3 will not work, since there have been incompatible API 
changes between 1.2 and 2.0. You should be able to compile a 1.2 plug-in for 2.0 
almost unchanged if you add -DGIMP_ENABLE_COMPAT_CRUFT -D to your CFLAGS 
environment variable before you compile it with gimptool (however, take this 
statement with a pinch of salt).

The plug-in author may prefer to port the plug-in to GTK+ 2.0, and take 
advantage of some of the helper widgets which have been added to libgimp since 
the 1.2 release, though.

Hope this helps,
Dave.
