Hello

You need to compile GEGL from trunk, or wait for a new GEGL release in
order to be able to compile GIMP trunk.

You can install to any prefix, but /usr/local is usually the most
comfortable prefix to use. Don't forget to run sudo ldconfig when you
have built and installed the Babl and GEGL libraries.

And yeah, this is a gimp-developer issue, so if you encouter futher
problems you should post to gimp-developer.

Good luck,
