Checkinstall is really your friend, use it.
I just used to say at the end of building "sudo make install", now I say
"sudo checkinstall". I love it.
Latest stable Gimp from *.tar.gz source:
[--]
Building Debian package...OK
Installing Debian package...OK
Erasing temporary files...OK
Writing backup package...OK
Deleting temp dir...OK
**********************************************************************
Done. The new package has been installed and saved to
/home/asmok/Bin/gimp-2.4.3/gimp_2.4.3-1_i386.deb
You can remove it from your system anytime using:
dpkg -r gimp

Another thing - Ubuntu is based on Debian, so you have all
dev-libraries you ever need. Maybe Gentoo have some more by it's nature,
I do not know.
Best Regards Asmo Koskinen.
