Failure of installing gimp-2.3.17 and gimp-2.3.18

Hi,
Under Suse-10.2, I have gimp-2.2 installed in /opt/gnome/bin/

I tried to install gimp-2.3.18 then, after unistalling it, gimp-2.317. In both cases,
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
#make install
ran to the end without crashing.

I have an executable gimp-2.3.x in /usr/bin/. This file is root. Is this normal?
Being root, if I launch this file, nothing happens. I console mode, I have the following message:
"/usr/bin/gimp-2.3 : symbol lookup error : /usr/bin/gimp-2.3 : undefined symbol : gimp-micro-version".

What doesthat mean? What must I do to get a valid gimp-2.3.18?

Julien

Did you follow the instructions at: http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.3.html

Sounds like you kind of followed them since you added a --prefix (although I would have made it /usr/gimp-2.3 or something like that as recommended, but I would think your prefix would work also.

You then need to create the "tiny wrapper script" as described in the given readme link.

I was too much presumptuous; I thought I knew how to install sources. Thank you, gimp-2.3 works fine now.
