Full Version: Missing lib file
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Just put the latest version of G'MIC into Gimp 2.10.8 under Ubuntu 18.04. It does not appear. When I start Gimp from the terminal it says "libQt5Widgets.so.5 not found".
Advice please as to where I can find this file and how to install it.

(It also tells me that canberra-gtk-module is missing, but it has been reporting that for some time and appears to make no difference to the operation of Gimp.)


david.
First try in a terminal

Code:
sudo apt install libqt5widgets*

That will pull in some dependencies, you might need to keep an eye open for more missing lib packages
rich,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Followed your instructions - now get  "/home/david/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/gmic_gimp_qt: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.10' not found (required by /home/david/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/gmic_gimp_qt)"

Do I understand that I have a previous version? Any advice very welcome!

david.
I can get that error message as well. The only gmic_gimp for linux 2.10 is compiled using Debian Sid and does not seem to be compatible with 'buntu 18.04 The regular download section and pre-release both the same. http://www.gmic.eu very slow, must be busy.

Try this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/u3qn9n1kz5u8ic...2.zip?dl=0 I just compiled it a couple of hours ago for my own use. It says Gimp 2.9 in the gmic display but take no notice. This is a kubuntu 18.04 & Gimp 2.10.8 (VM).

The usual, unzip pop in ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins permissions should be set but check anyway and remove the previous version.
rich,

Installed your newly compiled version. Now it tells me that it is missing "libpng12.so.0"

After a bit of a search I was able to find a .deb file and install libpng12.so.0, so now back in business!

Thanks for all your help.
