What file did you download? You shouldn't be trying to install Gimp 
(the graphics manipulating program). You are after Gimp-print (which 
started out as a Gimp's printing mechanism, but is now an independent 
project). You should have downloaded a disk image called 
gimp-print-4.2.5-0.ppc.dmg. It contains release notes, a How to doc, 
and an FAQ. The program itself is a double clickable package - the 
command line is not needed.

Note that you also need to install ESP Ghostscript which is also 
available at the same site.
