I've compiled gimp-1.2.5 with success using the configure option --prefix=$HOME/foo However, when I try to start I face a rather bizarre message For a proper GIMP installation, a subdiretcory named $HOME/~/foo needs to be created.
This appeared wrong to me, but out of curiosity I did the favor and created a directory called ~ (tilde) in $HOME. GIMP started, but as I expected complained about a missing directory $HOME/$HOME/foo The other way around, creating a $HOME/$HOME/foo in the first place, doesn't work either. I'm afraid I'm stuck in a vicious circle. Does anybody know, where my initial mistake may be.
