Well, assuming you're doing a per-user installation, wouldn't it go in your ~/.gimp-2.2/plug-ins
directory? I don't feel like checking what the system-wide directory is, but it's probably /etc/gimp-2.2/plug-ins or something.

try gimptool. you might need to get libgimp-dev to have the gimptool. type "gimptool --help" in a console to get the syntax of the gimptool command you need to install plug-ins.

is the file you downloaded one that ends in a .c?

thank you, that was useful,

yes, it returns this error:

kaleidoscop.e.c: In function `query': kaleidoscop.e.c:203: error: `PARAM_INT32' undeclared (first use in this function)

and then a list of other errors. any idea what the problem could be ?

my guess is that the plug-in is in need of updating. even more detailed guessing is that the plug-in is written for an older version of glib.

it might be an interesting task for a beginer c-coder to update this plug-in.

sorry about all the guessing in this email, it is not my usual approach to answering the gimp-user mail.
