      ---> Configuring gimp
      ---> Building gimp with target all
      ---> Staging gimp into destroot
      ---> Installing gimp
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using gimp with these commands:
