My apologies for not responding sooner. It sounds like you might have 
had an issue with establishing the prefix, either during installation or 
possibly when starting/running GIMP.

If you decide to try installing from git again, I know of two people who 
successfully (and very recently) installed and ran babl/GEGL/GIMP from 
git on Ubuntu following these (no doubt overly verbose :) ) 
instructions:

Normally I run Gentoo, but several months ago I followed these same 
instructions to build babl/GEGL/GIMP from git on Debian Sid and OpenSUSE.

Best,
