Thanks for your compiling instructions, redforce. I have followed them and now the latest Gimp is installed on my 64bit Ubuntu.

I only have one issue: the look is so GTK1. Why is that so?

By the way, if you want to compile 2.3.19 and your Linux distribution doesn't ship with gtk >= 2.10.13 which is needed for gimp:

* Download newest gtk from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.10/
* configure gtk with "./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.3", compile with "make" and (as root) install with "make install"
* Set environment variables:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.3/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.3/lib
export LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.3/lib

This makes sure that pkg-config can find the new gtk libs. Test it with "pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0", the returned value should be at least 2.10.13. Therefore, the environment variables have to be set as described above (=> write into .bashrc or re-set with each new shell!)

* Configure ("--prefix=/opt/gimp-2.3"!!), compile, install and start GIMP 2.3.19 as usual. To start the installed GIMP, no special environment variables have to be set anymore.

I would recommend you to install VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) and then run some Linux (e.g. Ubuntu Linux) in it. You can get it at www.ubuntu.com. You can run it as a normal Windows application and then you can use the newest GIMP for Linux (it should work better, too). Using the shared folders, you can use your Windows files and folders easily in the Linux GIMP.

no there is not a windows version yet. i think that the next release will already be a 2.4 RC.

I am liking the 2.3 series so far and I have been using 2.3.18 since I was able to find a compiled version. Is there a compile version of 2.3.19 I can download yet?
