unzipped dbpSrc-1.1.tgz in /usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/
have read, in file /usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/dbp.html:
'There is no configure file, use make to build and install in your
local gimp plugins directory...'
bu how exactly do i use this 'make' command to get it installed?
tnx for any help and understanding

1. open a shell
2. unzip dbpSrc-1.1.tgz to somewhere other than where you did ! I don't
like to clutter up this location. I use /downloads/gimp on my system.
/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/ is where your plugins should reside, not
necessarily all your sources for plugins. Though you can do as you've done
it seems to me you will be making a mess...
3. when you unzip the source package in step #2 you will get a new folder
named dbp. cd to there and type make. This will compile a binary file
named dbp.
4. cp (copy) this file to /usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/ . On my system,
since I installed Gimp 2.2.7 to /usr/local, I copied the binary to
/usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/
5. start Gimp. The new module will appear in the xtns menu.
That's it.
P.S. You can unzip the tgz to wherever you want !!! It's just a matter of
your personal preferences. I like to keep things neat and orderly! It's
perfectly o.k. to unzip where you did. Just make sure the binary you
created in #3 is moved to your /plug-ins folder where Gimp will search for
it !!

got 1 step further, took yr advice on tidying things up,
but got this error message:
[root@dd5e0273d dbp]# pwd

[root@dd5e0273d dbp]# make

-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
/bin/sh: line 1: g++: command not found
make: *** [dbp] Fout 127
[root@dd5e0273d dbp]#
tnx for any suggestion!

Hmmm. Two things. Firstly, you will need to install gimp's development
libraries.
Secondly, you say you installed the folder into gimp version 1.2 but the
make command is looking for gimptool-2.0. This suggests to me that this
plugin is only suitable for Gimp version 2.0 or higher.

Two more things - first, you don't need to be root to do this.
In fact, you probably shouldn't, because it will try to install
in your user directory. Just use your normal user login.
Second, it looks like you don't have g++ installed! You will need
to install the gcc compiler package (is that what it's called?),
with any C++ options (the C++ Standard Template Library, for example.)
And yes, it's for Gimp 2.2.

There are older versions at the authors web site if you are running an older
Gimp. Try a newer version of Gimp(2.2.7) if you want to use the newer
plug-in. Also, you can simply copy the binary you are 'trying' to build to
the proper place..(once you build it !) Gimptool does this (copies to the
proper folder)for binaries, otherwise it builds them if there is the proper
build script provided....
Yes, install Gimp-devel & gcc (Gnu compiler collection)
proper planning prevents piss poor performance !

this gimp 1.2 came with mandrake 10.1 on the iso-cds from mandrake-ftp,
guess i should start removing gimp 1.2 and install 2.0
next follow your advices
tnx again, enjoy your weekend!
Joal Heagney
I have a Mandrake 10.1 rpm of version 2.2.7 if you're interested.

and how do i correctly uninstall gimp 1.2, is it enough to just remove
the directory, or is there some 'register' ;-) thing in linux too to be
removed?
Michael Schumacher
You use the package manager of your distribution (might be Yast,
Synaptic, Yum, ...) to remove the gimp 1.2 package.
If your distribution doesn't have a package manager, you remove it
completely, order an Ubuntu CD and start again.
HTH,
Michael
