Try
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in the terminal.

Then try installing Gimp again.

thanks for your reply....:)

i've tried but same thing is happening..

It should work with the Software Center but try this terminal command

sudo apt-get install gimp It should try to install a version of gimp that is compatible with your system. Maybe you need to purge it first:

sudo apt-get purge gimp

sudo apt-get install gimp
Edit: Did you get any error messages when running the update and upgrade commands suggested by Rodney9
