    GIMP problem after upgrade

    I'm running Intrepid on a Dell XPS430 and installed a set of upgrades this morning, most of which were kernel related.

    Since then I can't get The GIMP to load. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling using both the command line and the Gnome Add/Remove function, but nothing.

    I'd really appreciate some advice.

    Many thanks

    Re: GIMP problem after upgrade

    What is the error message if you run it from a terminal?

    Code:
    gimp
    In the world of Linux, who needs Windows and Gates...

    Got most of my golden beans at an auction on eBay (with a couple of free drinks).

    Thanks for jumping on this so quickly.

    If I type gimp on the command line, it tries to install version 2.2 which I remember downloading a couple of weeks ago when I wanted to install Gimpshop. The version I had prior to the upgrade was 2.6.

    Perhaps I should let the installation run for version 2.2 then uninstall it and try a clean installation of 2.6?

    Thanks again for your help

    Hi taurus

    I installed 2.2 and then uninstalled it and reinstalled GIMP 2.6.

    The result from the command line is

    fred@fred-desktop:~$ gimp
    bash: /usr/local/bin/gimp: No such file or directory
    fred@fred-desktop:~$

    Any ideas?

    Hi again

    I've sorted the problem out by using Synaptic to reinstall gimp 2.6.

    For some strange reason neither apt-get nor the Gnome Add/Remove tool would do the decent.

    Many thanks for your concern.
