And it fails to start by saying "GEGL version too old!
GEGL version too old!
GIMP requires GEGL version 0.4.56 or later.
Installed GEGL version is 0.4.54.
Somehow you or your software packager managed
to install GIMP with an older GEGL version.
Please upgrade to GEGL version 0.4.56 or later.
Edit:
looks like the package gegl was updated right after I installed gimp earlier! Having updated that it now starts up.
