Generally speaking, .sh shell scripts aren't called to run installed programs. Instead, a link is tossed into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin which points to(or, for a hard link, references the exact same data as) the installed program executable, wherever that may be. There are of course exceptions, but I very, very rarely need to call a .sh to get done what I need. The work directory in /usr/ports/graphics/gimp2.0.6 is the working directory for the compile process. In graphics/gimp2.0.6 you may as well "make clean" to reclaim the space if you can get the installed program working. (If not, then don't do the make clean quite yet - you may need to, you might not, to fix the problem. And if you don't, then recompiling would be a waste of time.) HTH, -BB
