Did you use the search package box in the openSUSE webpage?

I tried this repository. Index of /repositories/home:/MargueriteSu:/gimp-2.7/openSUSE_Factory
But when I go to install and run application. It complains that I need GLib 2.3.0.2, and I have GLib 2.3.0.1. and no repositories for GLib 2.3.0.2. So it doesn’t work.

Don’t even try to change glib, or you will get a broken system.

i’m afraid glib won’t be your ownly problem. latest unstable GIMP requires
newer versions of BABL, GEGL, and GTK2 as well.
i’m compiling all these dependencies using a --prefix in my home
directory, and after some initial struggle this works fine. runs in
parallel to stable GIMP as well.
here are a few blog posts from GIMP developers that may help:
http://www.gimp.org/source/howtos/gimp-git-build.html
http://lightningismyname.blogspot.com/p/compiling-gimp.html
i’m pulling the latest git master & recompile it more or less every
monday, since the weekend tends to see most changes other than translation
updates. GIMP trunk i exceptionally stable; i’ve rarely seen it crash
during the last year or so.

and you didn’t need to compile BABL, GEGL, GTK2, and recently also glibc
in the same --prefix? with standard openSUSE versions of these
dependencies, GIMP from trunk wouldn’t compile for me, demanding later
ones.
but compiling those dependencies isn’t a problem, works the same way as
your link describes for GIMP, using the same --prefix.

ah, that’s an option i didn’t think of. i tried GNOME once, didn’t like
it, and have been using KDE since.

This is what I did to get it to work. I followed the instructions in the above link.
Gimp 2.7.4 on OpenSUSE 12.1 | ubuntuku’ (How to Compile and Install Gimp 2.7.4 on OpenSUSE 12.1 | ubuntuku)
But when I got to the install Gimp 2.7.4 part, I used the repository that I mentioned in the third post and everything installed fine. I also got updated Digikam, Libreoffice , Mozilla, etcc from the repo (OpenSUSE Factory) in the ubuntuku site.
Index of /repositories/home:/MargueriteSu:/gimp-2.7/openSUSE_Factory
Thanks everyone!. And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I’m running OpenSuse 12.1 KDE and it would not start X if GNOME factory repo is added and packages are upgraded. The post doesn’t say anything, but I suppose the instructions are for those running OpenSuse with Gnome

I would consider installing a factory repo from “ubuntuku site” as
dangerous. If it is not an ubuntu repo, then anyway the word “factory” is
enough to scare.
