Cannot get gimp app running

[David Rowe]

I have Gimp2 working just fine under Yosemite, MacPorts v2.3.2 and Xcode 
6.1. It was a clean installation - after upgrading to Yosemite, I 
trashed my old MacPorts installation and started again to avoid trouble.

One simple point - MacPorts puts the launcher for Gimp in the folder  
/Applications/MacPorts - not  directly into /Applications
Did you check in /Applications/MacPorts?
