Doing a clean installation does not only involve removing the installed stuff. You should clean your source directory too and rerun autogen.sh. The problem you see is caused by the fact that you did not correctly rebuild llibgimp/gimpenv.o. > <FLAME> > The feature freeze has also thawed again.

The problem that people do not adjust important parameters like the tile_cache_size was discussed several times and each time the only reasonable solution was to ask for it during the user installation. I have announced at least twice that I'm planning to change it and noone objected. Please, think about what you have said. We have put a lot of work into this and tried to test everything. You should also not forget that Mitch and me are the ones who fix the bugs, not you! Salut, Sven
