[ILUG] GIMP 2.6 installation

[ILUG] GIMP 2.6 installation

Please note that I am very new to linux.

I tried to install the new version of GIMP, 2.6, today but I am having
some problems with the installation. I had to get a couple of packages
(gcc and make) to install then it told me that I Had to install babl
as well. I did so but the error keeps returning:

----
checking for BABL... configure: error: Package requirements (babl >=
0.0.22) were not met:

No package 'babl' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BABL_CFLAGS
and BABL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
----

Does anyone know how to fix this error? It mentions something about
changing the pkg-config man page - but what and where is that?

Thanks for the help
