Looking at the above lines, I'm confused. It looks like some stuff is 
installed in /opt/gimp-default-master, other stuff in /usr/local, and 
yet other stuff in /home/jag/devel/gimp-default-master.

Would it be easier to install *all* the requirements for installing 
babl/GEGL/GIMP (the requirements that can't be installed from the usual 
Ubuntu 16.04.3 repositories) in just one place, for example in an 
"install" folder in /home/jag/devel/gimp-default-master"? That way 
there'd be no need to tell babl or GEGL or GIMP to go "here for this 
stuff, there for some other stuff".

Anyway, something I'd wished I'd known a long time ago, all the specific 
requirements for GIMP from git are in the "configure.ac" file in the 
top-level folder for the GIMP git code, which makes it easy to see which 
Ubuntu-supplied software is current enough, and which software needs a 
more current version installed in the babl/GEGL/GIMP install prefix. 
Here's the list as of this morning:

# required versions of other packages
m4_define([babl_required_version], [0.1.42])

m4_define([webp_required_version], [0.6.0])

Here's the same list for GEGL, but of course if GIMP needs a newer 
version than GEGL, use the version given in GIMP's list:

m4_define([poly2tri-c_required_version], [0.0.0])
m4_define([pygobject2_required_version], [2.26])
m4_define([pygobject3_required_version], [3.2])
m4_define([vapigen_required_version], [0.20.0])
m4_define([libavformat_required_version], [55.48.100])
m4_define([libavcodec_required_version], [55.69.100])
m4_define([libswscale_required_version], [2.6.100])

Best,
and my apologies if none of the above is helpful!
