    I installed GIMP using the built in installer in Linpus but when I try to open it all I get is this error message

    Code:
    Libgimp version mismatch!
    
    The GIMP binary cannot run with a libgimp version
    other than its own. This is GIMP 2.4.0, but the
    libgimp version is 2.4.6.
    
    Maybe you have GIMP versions in both /usr and /usr/local ?
    Any idea what I need to do in order to get it to work?

    Start with
    Code:
    rpm -qa | grep gimp
    to see if you've got two versions of gimp-libs installed.
    If you do, then
    Code:
     sudo rpm -e gimp-libs-2.4.blah-blah-blah
    to get rid of the version that doesn't match (replace blah-blah-blah with whatever's appropriate).
    If not, try
    Code:
    sudo yum update gimp-libs
