Hi, all. Please help me. I can't seem to get GIMP 2.2 to compile (not
entirely true[1]) on Fedora Core 2, and I can't find an RPM for it. (Only
GIMP 2.0.x seems to be available as an RPM for FC2).

Some questions:

 * Does anyone have a GIMP 2.2 RPM for FC2?
 * How do I get yum to update using the "development" line of packages --
   I do see GIMP 2.2 in the "development" unstable branch.
 * Has anyone gotten GIMP 2.2 to compile (without the problems I noted in
   the footnote[1]), install, and run on FC2? (I'm sure that's a "yes")
 * Can anyone tell me how to fix my problem with my compiled-from-source
   version of GIMP 2.2? None of the image type plugins work!

Thanks for any light shedding on this topic.

later...

[1] I actually *did* get GIMP 2.2 to compile and install and run on FC2,
but for some reason it only opens or writes GIMP native files, and not
JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc., which basically makes it useless to me.
