Windows install
You need two separate packages, and probably would be wise to get a third . . .
these are the GIMP itself, the GTK package, and the Help Package. They are all available from the same page:
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/
For Windows versions before WIn2000 download the older GTK (they mention this on the site.)
Install GTK first, then the GIMP, then the help package if you chose to get it. Pretty simple.

Below is the chart of requirements for the stable 2.2 version. Many of these are likely
already on your machine, so give it a check before you start adding stuff. Also, on many distros the
header files are removed, so you might try to compile and get missing files -- if such is the
case you will need the "devel" package of the dependency in question.

And below are the optional packages you might want for scripting
(or using downloaded scripts) for Python and Perl, also for additional
file handling and GIMP-print usage.
The Perl support also has additional dependencies and can be a bit hairy to get right.
Below the chart I will list all the added packages I installed from CPAN to get Perl scripting
(and GAP - the animation stuff) up and running.

And below are the support files I installed to get Perl and GAP (GIMP Animation Package)
up and running. I turned them into Slackware-10.2 packages. All the files prefixed by
"perl" can be found on CPAN, without the perl designation. And obviously, don't go looking for these files
by their complete name -- for "perl_URI-1.35-i486-2PS.tgz" you would look for "URI-1.35", or
just "URI".
Yes -- I did install from source. I have Perl-5.8.7 and Python-2.4.1, both of which were the defaults with Slackware-10.2. I
write other software, so I need to stay rooted in the official install base.
gimp-gap-2.2.0-i486-1PS.tgz
gsl-1.7-i486-1PS.tgz
perl_PDL-2.4.2-i486-2PS.tgz
