issues with gimp on mac 10.7.3

Hi,

I have made a few attempts to install Gimp but I'm having the same problems. I continually get a message about my swap file:

To avoid data loss, please check the location and permissions of the swap directory defined in your Preferences (currently "/Users/helenebrennan/Library/Application Support/Gimp").--

All permissions are open, but I can find no such directory

Also:

Failed to create thumbnail folder '/Users/helenebrennan/Library/Application Support/Gimp/cache/thumbnails/normal'.

I have not been able to fix these problems. Please can you help.

Kind regards,

Helene Brennan

This is linux? windows?

Can you go to preferences and try another swap location. Try /Users/helenebrennan

Ooops, now that I have downloaded my mail to a real mail client, I see you are on a Mac.

I think the same answer will apply

Sorry abt that
