GIMP wont load after installing plugins

[mrpenguin]

I decided not to use Photoshop in wine on my computer but to only use GIMP because I heard there is so many free plugins on the internet that makes it function almost exactly as Photoshop.

I install plugins but then GIMP wont open at all.

I did a complete fresh install of 10.04 because I was having this GIMP problem after installing gimpshop and installing Photoshop 7, I figured it was the Photoshop that caused the problem

So now with a complete fresh install GIMP still wont work with any plugins installed .... is there something i need before I can add any plugins or whats going on ??

Any idea why this is happening ?

What happens if you run gimp from the command line (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)?
