Yes, these are all the things I am doing.  When I get to the:

./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8

It fails with:

checking for gobject-introspection... configure: error: gobject-introspection-1.0 is not installed

I, of course, have been trying to install gobject-instrospection and have been failing miserably.  Sourcing 
various versions from here:  http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/ I have tried many versions all with the 
same failure talking about Glib-2.0.gir.. and it seems to be looking somewhere other than /opt/gimp-2.8 for 
it.
