Problem with GMIC plug-in for Gimp 2.9

[patdavid]

I’m replying over here so it doesn’t get lost in the other thread

G'MIC plug-in with high-bit depth support

Hello all, I installed the latest version of the GMIC plugin to my gimp 2.9 install using the instructions posted here, but after moving gmic-gimp to the plug-ins directory and starting gimp, I got this message: Could not execute plug-in “gmic_gimp” (/home/jzzz/.gimp-2.9/plug-ins/gmic_gimp) because it uses an obsolete version of the plug-in protocol Any help will be appreciated! thanks, John

Ok, so you built GIMP 2.9 from sources according to the instructions over on wiki.meethegimp.org.

Am I to understand that you also followed @David_Tschumperle’s instructions from that previous post:

@David_Tschumperle

Here are the steps for the Linux users (esp. Ubuntu in this case):

Open a shell, and retrieve the latest G’MIC sources from the git repo (https://github.com/dtschump/gmic-minimal) by typing:
$ git clone https://github.com/dtschump/gmic-minimal.git

Install all necessary dependencies to compile the plug-in itself (I assume you already have gimp-2.9 installed somewhere of course).
$ sudo apt-get install git build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libfftw3-dev

Compile the plugin
$ cd gmic-minimal/src && make gimp

Then, copy your plug-in binary gmic_gimp to the GIMP-2.9 plug-in folder (on Linux, $HOME/.config/GIMP/2.9/plug-ins/). Then run/restart GIMP-2.9 to make it appear.

When you followed these steps, did everything build ok, or did it show any errors?
