New user: can't emerge Gimp.

I've just started my first Gentoo build and am very
impressed. However, 
I get the following when trying to emerge Gimp. I don't want
to trouble 
the debugging team with what's probably my own inexperience.
Can anyone 
suggest what should be the next step?

With thanks
Carl Adams

built_with_use looks in the vdb (/var/db/pkg) for IUSE and
USE of python. At 
the time when you installed dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r1 it
didn't have a tk USE 
flag in IUSE. It does now. So simply reinstall python and
then try again.

# emerge -va1 dev-lang/python

This means you need to remerge python with USE=tk.

# echo "dev-lang/python tk" >>
/etc/portage/package.use
# emerge --oneshot dev-lang/python

Then re-merge gimp.

Your other option is to disable the python useflag for gimp,
and then
gimp won't care:

# echo "media-gfx/gimp -python" >>
/etc/portage/package.use
