I think all the paths are getting mixed up

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/kde/3.5/sbin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   before  ^^^^^^^

It is picking up /usr/local because that is what you path has first
(or before /usr/bin )

You are starting Gimp from a console?

You need to set the PATH to see /usr/bin first and the same for
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.to see /usr/lib first

export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH and
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib


and when you start 2.5, do so from another console with the paths set
to pick up the 2.5 libraries first.


You should actually keep away from /usr/local, the various bashrc and
profile files set up paths to include /usr and /usr/local and it can
get confusing.

Just build in /opt in accordance with the instructions for paths.
