Problems Installing gmic_gimp plug-in

I've just come back to the GIMP after some years absence, but thought I knew what I was doing. However -- I downloaded the gmic_gimp plugin for 64-bit Linux, and installed it (I thought) by unzipping the binary into $HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins. It's there, it's a 64-bit ELF binary, etc. But the GIMP never seems to find it.

So, I tried it again in the global library: /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins. Still no luck. It doesn't show up in the filters menu, nor does it appear in the plug-in browser.

Has anyone gotten this plug-in working?

System: Dual-core Athlon II, OS: Fedora Core 11 (very recent installation). GIIMP: 2.6.8 (came with distro).

Make sure it's got executable bit set.

(From /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins). Executable by everyone.

Any other suggestions?

Try open Gimp from the command line. If GMic crashes during initialization, you will most probably see some descriptive error message there.

Thanks, Torsten. That worked. (I was missing fftw). I'll remember to try the command line next time.
