When you started it from the command line, did any messages appear?
What were they?


When you uninstalled it, did you do a "Complete removal" or only a
reinstallation.

Suggestion.

1. Do a complete uninstallation
2. do an "updatedb"
3. Search for gimp
4. You will probably need to remove ~/.gimp-2.8
5. There maybe some residual gimp files which could be deleted safely.  

then

6. Install gimp anew.
