[Ubuntu-BD] Problem when compiling gimp 2.7

[shiplu]

I'm a little bit curious, why you are trying to compile a package like
*gimp*? Because its one of those packages that is always available in
default repository in any linux distro.
Well when you get errors while compiling there could be several reasons.
1. A package or library with required version number not found
2. Compiling tools like gcc, g++, bison, make, automake, autoconf etc
with proper version number not found
3. Required header files not found
And there are more. In fact endless. Try to resolve those, it will be compiled.
