Yep, I hit that as well. I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) and I "solved" that problem by upgrading dbus to version 1.0.2. That allowed me to compile Gimp 2.3.14 but it basically broke several other parts of the Ubuntu distribution.

HAL won't run. Nautilus won't run.

Until Ubuntu "catches up" with the latest dbus release, I would sit tight and not chance introducing other issues in your system if you decide to upgrade dbus manually, as I did.

At least I've got a working Gimp 2.3.14 to play with. :)

Good luck!

Peace...

Your version of D-Bus is outdated. Just do what the error message suggests and add #define DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE to gui.c just before the d-bus headers are included.

And it ends with this:

Your copy of the Python Glib bindings are broken. There's a patch for it in Bugzilla. It's on the pygtk project if I remember correctly. Alternatively you can disable the Python plug-in when configuring gimp.

Download a fresh svn snapshot, it was solved a fiew days ago...

The latest pygtk release should work (it has the patch incorporated).
