gimp run problem - resubmitted

Hi,

I am having problems after installing gimp 2.4 using the package manager on an Acer Aspire One running Linpus Linux Lite.

When I try to run the application I get the following error message:

------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------

Libgimp version mismatch!

The GIMP binary cannot run with a libgimp version other than its own. This is GIMP 2.4.0, but the libgimp version is 2.4.6.

Maybe you have GIMP versions in both /usr and /usr/local ?

------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------

How do I solve this as I am a new user to Linux and the netbook?

Cheers,

Ian

The error message is telling you the most likely cause of your problem. You have installed two different versions of GIMP in under the same directory tree (/usr and /usr/local).

Since you have 2.4.6 installed, you don't need to keep version 2.4.0 so just delete that. Better still, delete both versions and install the most recent 2.4.7 version.
