Hi Richard,

Out of curiosity I downloaded ALL the needed files. 14 in all, 45Mb's total.
Ouch... It might have been easier to download bre-built binaries. I'm assuming that you're talking about having downloaded these from Tor's site - in which case, there's an installer linked from that page. This might have been an easier path to take. In any case, good luck :)
I would appreciated some help in the ORDER in which to install these files, pretty please....
If these are prebuilt binaries, then the order doesn't matter, you jkust need to install all of them. However, if you're starting from source, then there are a few groups
Group 1: external libs, depend on nothing: > libjpeg (tar.tar) > libpng > libtiff > AA-lib > libexif > libmng > libRSVG > libwmf > libart (tar.tar)
Group 2: Should be installed in order. This gets you all you need to build the GIMP.
freetype2
fontconfig
glib
atk
Pango GTK+
Group 3: Optional libraries for the GIMP (for printing and a help browser)
gimp-print GtkHTML Library (tar.tar)
PyGTK (for python-fu)
Group 4: The GIMP and some very useful plug-ins gimp gimp-gap gimp-freetype gimp-perl refocus
There was one that I could not find and I know how to scour the web pretty good when I want to:
Font Configuration Library
Check freedesktop.org. Look for fontconfig.
Most of these files, including gimp-2.0.1.tar.gz are all in tar.gz format except for the 3 files with a 'tar.tar' extention and I'm not at all sure how easy these will be to open up.
Try tar, sometimes browsers "helpfully" uncompress .tgz files during the download, and add a .tar extension at the end of the uncompressed file.
I know it's going to be REAL fun doing this little project but now I'm commited so please lend a hand!! :-)
Good luck.
Cheers, Dave.
