I tried to compile gimp-2.2.1 today. It went well except for the perl part. I discovered it didn't do much without the perl parts. I tried to installl PDL, GLib, Gtk2 and some other perl modules. Finally I seem to have it really screwed up. No more progress on gimp. One final error which may illustrate my problem:

I am hoping somebody can make some sense out of this.
