See my other response in this thread. The error that the original poster was seeing when starting up GIMP is completely unrelated to the installation prefix he has choosen. He simply forgot to run ldconfig. > You can use the old 2.0 plug-ins by doing something like "ln -s > /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins ~/.gimp-2.1/plug-ins ", but then you > will not have all the bug-fixes and previews which have gone into > the 2.1 series. This won't work with 2.1.4 though since we accidentally broke the wire protocol. It will work again with 2.1.5 (or current CVS). > No, this isn't the case.

He is missing at least one of the following: - an icon theme that provides the icons - the shared-mime-info package - an entry in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 that tells gtk+ to use the icon theme (for example: gtk-icon-theme-name = "gnome") Alternatively upgrading to a recent GTK+-2.4 release would have fixed the problem. You should perhaps have mentioned that there's also "Open Location" in the toolbox which offers an entry to paste URLs or filenames to.
