I have downloaded Resynthesizer, to get Heal Selection and Heal Transparency.

I made the .py files executable, and transferred them and the resynthesizer[-gui] files to the location that GIMP specifies is where plug-ins should go /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins

"Heal-___" appear in the menu, but when I activate the form, I get the following error window detail: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 736, in response dialog.res = run_script(params) File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 361, in run_script return apply(function, params)

Running from terminal, I found why the procedure was not found:

/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/resynthesizer: error while loading shared libraries: libgimpui-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/resynthesizer-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libgimpui-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Some research seems to indicate that "wrong ELF class" is a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue. Since I installed Lubuntu 16.10 as 64-bit, I guess I should assume that the resynthesizer* files somehow are 32-bit.

Does there exist a 64-bit version of resynthesizer, or is there a way around this problem? There was no mention of this issue where I got the files: http://registry.gimp.org/node/27986

Google-ing the problem only resulted in two suggestions: 1. get a different GIMP that already has Heal-x and Resynth. installed (throw the baby out with the bathwater) 2. install gimp-plugin-registry (install what seems like hundreds of plugins that I don't want, to get the 2 or 3 that I do want = Overkill - Similar to when I originally tried to get Nemo file manager, and (at the time) also had to install the entire Cinnamon desktop...)

There must be a place to get just the two resynthesizer files, that are compatible with my system... (One assumes that the .py files, being interpreted scripts, don't come in 32-bit vs 64-bit versions.)

if you are on Ubuntu or a variant, you can get up-to-date Gimp and a matching copy of the more popular plugins (including resynthesizer) by adding Otto Kesselgulash's PPA to your software sources:

https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp

From there you can install packages 'gimp' (which is the latest version 2.8.18), 'gimp-plugin-registry' (several useful plugins including resynthesizer) and 'gmic'.
