But... there is a butt. 

Gimp-1.211 does not install on all systems so easy. It gives out a
message like this, when running perl Makefile.PL:

FATAL: unable to deduce plugindir from gimptool script

A bit silly error. I looked to Google but could find only that others
had the same problem often, while no conclusive solution seems to be
known. 

Initially, I used all that with Gimp that has been installed with Fedora
Core 1, discovering that it for some strange reason does NOT have
gimptool around. But after that I installed the newest Gimp from
gimp.org, and now gimptool is available. 

Anybody around by chance, could advice?
