The ubuntu Tweak is a powerfully tool can permit changes (that in ubuntu normally are hidden) ...use carefully ... u could screw your system.. and dont enable repositories that ...again ... can screw your linux installation (example...."could update a system file and provoke a dependency errors...")
Its alright ????....

worked thanks! compiling just lead to endless errors for me on linux 11. for example it keeps looking for files like libjpeg which is out of date.

What does C/P mean?
If it is cut and paste then where do you paste it to?
If to paste it into the terminal then what is the difference from pasting the second method into the terminal?
Do you have to remove the Gimp that comes with LM12, will Gimp be over written or will they run side by side?
