Please forgive this string of messages, which I think may be related to the 'git 
problem' thread

Absent a response, I hand-built (with considerable reluctance) a pygtk-2.0.pc 
and put it in my configuration path:
My pygtk-2.0.pc is

    prefix=/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
    exec_prefix={prefix}
    data_dir=/usr/share/doc/pygtk2-2.24.0
    libdir={prefix}

    Name: pygtk2
    Description: Extension module for Python for GTK+-2
    Version: 2.24.0

This was progress, b/c I now proceed to this error:
    configure: error:
    *** Could not find pygtk-codegen-2.0 script.
Searching on-line, I find this information from an unrelated source 
(https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/14888):
"If "pygtk-codegen-2.0" is deprecated, then upstream scripts that call it should 
be updated to call "pygobject-codegen-2.0".

It is undoubtedly clear to the awesome GIMP developers - as it is clear to me - 
that I'm over my head here.

Please advise me - would you prefer I simply shut up or is there a path you can 
recommend?
