whatsup ubunter's
I'm currently running Ubuntu 8.0.4.1 Ultimate Edition v1.9 Hardy and is running pretty good so far.
But my software package Gimp v2.45 and Gimp-Data was running fine before I think I messed it up so, only because I wanted to upgrade to a newer version Gimp v2.63
I downloaded all the packages from both getdeb.net and us.archive.ubuntu.com/pool
and gimp v2.61 and Gimp v2.62 and none of these will work or compile from source
however Gimp v2.62 did install ok but the program will not run when clicking on gimp
to run acts as if its going to start and just closes with no error or nothing on the desktop. I have even tried putting the old Gimp v2.45 which is what was installed and it will not work either?? So now I'm Gimpless I need to find a way to get this back up and running I would like to have v2.63 the latest version or v2.62 will be ok I suppose
So where is the needed packages I'm needing I do not understand why is was there v2.45 running ok but now can't get any Gimp to work.??? What do I need to do to make this work again? Gimp needs the proper packages outlined and compiled as .deb files
so that the install will work correctly.?? Hopefully someone could help me out ???
Thanks
peace ....

P.S I have even tagged Gimp v2.45 in synaptic but the libgtk2.0-0 is installed but it complains of one or the other like libcario which is also installed.
Also this is and offline machine @ home.
Any suggestions or a why to bypass or get it running again would be appreciated.
