Thank you so much. I added the ppa and installed it and I now have gimp 2.8! But that present a question: what is the best way to go about learning it? I tried following the tutorials on meetthegimp.org but when he first started producing the film he was using gimp 2.2 and the differences between 2.2 and 2.6 were confusing. Now we're at 2.8. I was thinking of following their manual (http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/) and trying to learn that way but I thought I should ask those in the know :D If this is the best way is there a way to wget the manual and then to turn that into a pdf? or would you not recommend that?

okay.... I want to install gimp 2.8 (I run mint... not ubuntu). I ran configure and it hung saying babl isn't installed. I go to a webpage and it says that it is kept in a git repository. HOw do I install it into the directory it is supposed to be installed in? hmmmmm.... i just ran 'find bal|grep babl' and found where babl is installed is installed. How do I tell it to do what I need to tell it?---------------------------------------------------
