I do it like that: > As root: > # gimptool --uninstall-admin-bin blur now you are starting to confuse me: do we talk about "blur" or "rotate" ?

But then when I start GIMP > I still can not rotate (it still is not in the menu). you should check that you are calling gimptool on the correct file. "--install-admin-bin" expects a binary file as argument. Assuming you tried this in the plug-ins/common directory of the gimp source tree, you installed a libtool wrapper for rotate, not the plug-in binary (the binary is in plug-ins/common/.libs). That's why you see the file in the plug-ins dir, but can't use it. > I also tried to do: > # gimptool --install-admin blur.c > but still no result. this on the other hand should work (after replacing blur.c with rotate.c). You should notice that gimptool is only a helper tool to ease compilation and installation of simple plug-ins. It is not intended to be used from within the gimp source tree (we have some sophisticated Makefiles there and use libtool) and it will not help you as soon as your plug-ins grows and you decide that one source file is not enough. I suggest you make yourself familiar with gcc and make and have a look into automake, autoconf, libtool, etc. later. Salut, Sven
