Install Gimp 2.6 in Ubuntu 8.04

August 23, 2009 in , , , , with 2 Comments

Remove the old version of GIMP from Synaptic or in a terminal:

sudo apt-get remove gimp

Download and save all five GIMP packages from GetDeb. Double-click on the packages to install them, in this order:

  1. libbabl-0.0-0_0.0.22-1~getdeb1_i386.deb
  2. libgegl-0.0-0_0.0.18-1~getdeb1_i386.deb
  3. libgimp2.0_2.6.1-1~getdeb1_i386.deb
  4. gimp-data_2.6.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb
  5. gimp_2.6.1-1~getdeb1_i386.deb

Now you can start GIMP normally, from Applications->Graphics->GIMP Image Editor.
gimp-splash
