The early versions of GIMP only ran on platforms with Motif. The 0.60 version broke all the plugins with the advent of gtk. Nobody liked it for quite a while.

I used an earlier pre-0.60 release on AIX.

- hakfoo 4y agoI can recall getting statically linked binaries of an early Motif-based GIMP on the "bonus CD" that came with a '90s Linux book which included Slackware on CD. The early GTK-based versions did look more modern, in a 90s way, but the benefit was that you could actually build them reasonably. Lesstif was sort of late to the party, and then was soon superceded when real Motif got opened.
