ok i'm not actually a developer or programme writer but i really need some = help and was hoping someone here might be able to help. I'm using ubuntu 10:10 maverick meerkat with gimp 2.6, i want to install th= e dynamic text plugin, if i move the script file(.scm) into the gimp2.6 scr= ipt folder i get the option in gimp but when i try and use it i get the fol= lowing message Execution error for 'Dynamic Text': Error: set!: unbound variable: image i have been told that the plug in is written in C and i have to install it = using the essential package builder i was told to enter the code sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev then to enter the command - make when i try 'make' i get the following make: /usr/bin/gimptool: Command not found gcc -o .obj/charmap.o -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -I. = -DGTK_DISABLE_COMPAT_H -g -c charmap.c In file included from charmap.c:23: config.h:2: fatal error: gdk/gdkx.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [.obj/charmap.o] Error 1 someone has suggested the makefile could be modified to sort this out but they didn't know how to modify it so i ended up here. Does anyone know how i can get this plugin to work? i really want to be able to use it because it sounds like it has features i could really do with. I'm not sure if would help at all but this is everything i have tried and results so far. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1721181 any help would be gratefully appreciated many thanks -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/dynamic-text-plugin-tp31335977p31335977.html Sent from the Gimp Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
