I'm not a developer, but I try to anser your questions as good as possible.

You should get all needed libs with "apt-get build-dep gimp". I'm not sure if 10.04 is recent enough because I'm using 10.10. > 2) Are there any special guidelines for writing plugins using GEGL > operations? Are they listed anywhere?

Or use the GEGL or Gimp mailing lists, but that is slower.
