I am trying to find were to download an installer for "The GIMP V2.3". All I can find is source code and some archive comprised of hundreds of files. If some could either tell me how to use the archives or where to get an installer I would greatly appreciate it.

I found a link to download Version 2.3 but there is no .exe in the folder. I should of mentioned that I need a Windows version.

Let me ask my friend where to find it. If its available, he'll know where it is. Give me a little time as he has a new baby at home. :)
 
Any reason you want 2.3? it's a development version.

I think there are only windows installers for 2.2.14 and other older stable versions.
 
I want V2.3 because I am using a book that is written about 2.3 and I heard that it had several new features. I want to learn in hte same version as the book.

This is what my friend wrote when I asked him about 2.3 ... I hope this helps you :)

Actually, 2.3 is a development version, which is available for anyone, but really meant for those with programming skills, etc. to work all the bugs out before they release the next version. 2.2.x.x is the most recent stable version. From what I've read, development versions have and odd number after the decimal, whereas stable versions are even-numbered (ie...2.3 (developement), 2.2 (stable).

If you're still interested, gimptalk.com has a tutorial on how to compile the source code for Windows. I haven't tried it as I don't need any computer problems to deal with
 
I just got Linux running on my system and I need to know where I can get the
Linux version of 2.3 (I think this is esier than Windows) does anyone know where I can get it?

dude you just don't get the whole point do you ?..there's no EXE's for linux. yes there is a GIMP version for windows but for linux you won't ever find something like "gimpinstaller.exe". it will either be "gimpinstaller.deb" or "gimpinstaller.rpm" or "gimpinstaller.tar.gz" or gimpinstaller.tar.bz2".

and i already mentioned in one of your earlier threads how to manage rpm and tarballs.
 
if yours is a tarball check to see of there is a file called 'gimpinstaller.sh'
(not necessarily what i said about the name but the extension needs to be .sh' )

if so go to terminal and run it like this :
su
password (enter your root password)
./gimpinstaller.sh

after that the transaction will begin. if your system is up-to-date, there'l be no errors.

I understand that there is nothing like an exe. What I am looking for is a .tar or a .pup (I use Puppy Linux). I think I found a .pup for version 2.2, maybe I will wait for 2.4.
