Missing lib file - david - 12-03-2018
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.)

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/u3qn9n1kz5u8icg/gmic_gimp_qt-242.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.
david.
