You have to download, compile (?) and install the latest versions of 
babl and gegl.  It is a royal pain but once it is done you are set 
for several upgrades, until Gimp requires a newer version. IMO 
these required libraries should be embedded in the Gimp release 
itself but there may be turf issues that prevent that.
