Open a command window and run it from there. Hopefully some useful
error messages will appear.

Right. I opened a terminal window, tried to start Gimp, and got the
following message:

gimp: symbol lookup error: gimp: undefined symbol: g_dpgettext

This symbol is defined in libglib-2.0.so.0, which is part of the
libglib2.0-0 package. Something is wrong with this package on your
system, or you have a more general problem with your dynamic linker.
Please post the output of the following commands:

nm -D /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 | grep g_dpgettext

ls -l /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so*

dpkg -l libglib2.0\* | awk '/^i/{print $1, $2}'

/sbin/ldconfig -pNX | grep libglib-2.0

tom@Phoenix:~$ nm -D /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 | grep g_dpgettext
0000000000054180 T g_dpgettext

OK, the symbol is defined.

tom@Phoenix:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2008-05-13 08:37 /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 -> libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 771320 2008-04-11 17:33 /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.3

Hmm, I have a /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so symlink (to the same *.1600.3
file) in addition to the one that your output shows.

tom@Phoenix:~$ dpkg -l libglib2.0\* | awk '/^i/{print $1, $2}'
ii libglib2.0-0
tom@Phoenix:~$ /sbin/ldconfig pNX | grep libglib-2.0
/sbin/ldconfig: relative path `pNX' used to build cache

That should have been "-pNX" there.

tom@Phoenix:~$ exit

Please run the ldconfig command again with the correct syntax. I would
furthermore like to see the result of:

ldd `which gimp` | grep libglib-2.0
