    followed the instructions in 10.10 and version 2.6.10 was installed. Any idea why?

  2. Jeff S. says:

    I did this in 10.10 and when I open gimp the
    version is still 2.6.1.0 even when I reboot.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks,

    Same Problem with 10.10 & gimp 2.6.10
    It’s sad – because i can not print with 2.6.10 ;(

  5. Marco-duck says:

    I think you have to have gimp 2.6.10 installed already then run the commands. That’s what worked for me.

  6. SmallAl says:

    meanwhile it worked – i do not know my mistake anymore, maybe i copied all three command in one ?

    Ubuntu 10.04
    I removed gimp (and xsane) and then followed the above instructions. It did not work, I still have gimp 2.6.8 instead of 2.6.11 (trying to resolve printing problem)
    🙁
