It sounds like you might be installing gimp and its depndencies into
somewhere owned by the operating system; /usr/local is probably safe on
Fedora (it isn't on Debian) but using a prefix like $HOME/opt is
better. Then put a short shell script in your PATH that runs your local
version gimp (mine is called "lgimp" for local gimp).
