gegl depends on libsdl-devel

Now that I have a working X11 and a few good apps, I decided to try for the gold.. .Gimp. below is the last paragraph from 'sudo port install gimp'

Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/sdl-config is being used by the active libsdl port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate libsdl-devel' to force the activation.

I notice a number of dependencies on py25, and I do not have version 2.5 installed, rather have gone with python2.6 . Attached is the output from 'port installed'

Your note says 'fixed'... what do I do now... attempt a reinstall? Install libsdl-devel? Install gegl? al

Big question for me now is that I have installed python26 and want to keep it as the active python. Gimp seems to want 2.5 . Is there a workaround? Thanks.. reopening the ticket..al
