Configure error

[GabrielWolff]

I try to configure a Gimp plugin, and get this error message upon trying to compile:

Help?

configure: error: Could not find gdk-pixbuf-csource in your PATH

Thats the problem, it looks like the directory you're running the commands from should have gdk-pixbuf-csource in it. Try redownloading the plugin, from another link if possible, then try to reinstall. Hope that fixes it.

Great, I got around that.
But then make goes right and make install gives me this:

What's Error 1 and what's Error 2?

You need to run "sudo make install" so that you have write permission in /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/focusblur .

Duuuh!

Thanks, worked perfectly.

I can erase the downloaded folder now, right?

[oldos2er]

If you ever want to uninstall the program, you'll need to keep the source folder. Otherwise you can delete it.

Great, I got around that.

How did you got around that? I'm still stuck.

[DigitalWolf333]

me too O_o

[typhoon476]

You need to install libgtk2.0-dev to get gdk-pixbuf-csource executable.
Just do:

$ sudo aptitude install libgtk2.0-dev

And you'll be fine.


Cheers,
