D-Bus Error while starting Gimp

[Nicholas Gates]

I just installed gimp-dev and tried to start the program for the first
time. However, I am getting the following error:

$ sudo /opt/local/bin/gimp-2.3
process 458: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to
read machine uuid: Failed to open
"/opt/local/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
  D-Bus not compiled with backtrace support so unable to print a backtrace
/opt/local/bin/gimp-2.3: line 8:   458 Abort trap
/opt/local/gimp-2.3/bin/gimp-2.3 "$@"


Any ideas on what is going on? How can I fix this?
