Thanks a lot YAFU, I wouldn't have done it without you.

The guide is a bit difficult to follow and understand, so I'm glad that it has been helpful for you

I couldn't locate any errors you mentioned-> "gtksourceview error" and regarding "gimp.h"
so i went for "make install" I got this error -> ln -s /usr/bin/mathmap /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/mathmap
ln: failed to create symbolic link `/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/mathmap': File exists
make: *** [install] Error 1

Though I see mathmap in gimp-generics... but without any filters in it.

Could you help.

The filters belongs to your directory:

~/.gimp-2.8/mathmap/expressions

in subdirectories as they are in the source tree of mathmap under "examples".
So copy the content of the sources "examples" directory to ~/.gimp-2.8/mathmap/expressions

Hello. What GNU/Linux distro are you using?
You must have performed the symlink step before attempting to install.
You should only do this:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mathmap /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/mathmap

if after installing Mathmap you don't find it in GIMP. But for that you should have the "mathmap" file in "/usr/bin/". Maybe you had installed it on some attempt.
I don't know, I guess is what may have happened. Anyway, as you seem to have already installed the binary in some attempt, you try first with was recommended by Onkel Hatti.

Or you delete the file "mathmap" from "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/" (you need permissions). Then try installing again with "sudo make install". Only if the installation was successful and when you open Gimp if you do not find Mathmap, you make the symbolic link.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

It worked here. Ubuntu 12.10, 64bits
I'll finally write my arcticle about filters on Gimp in my blog. I would like to have your permission to post there a translation of your compiling instructions for Brazilian Portuguese.

It's that OK for you?

It is good that this guide is still useful even with current distros.

Sorry for the late response. Of course, you can translate and publish this guide elsewhere. If possible, you include this GimpChat link as source.

I followed the tutorial and into konsole I have this output:

Hello donGoGo.

What distribution and version are you using?
What you get in terminal with "whereis gimp"?

What exactly is meant that? Do you get an error message? Mathmap opens but you can not find filters?

donGoGo · **Joined:** Sep 01, 2010 **Posts:** 8

I use Gimp 2.8.2
whereisgimp

Code: Select all

gimp: /usr/bin/gimp /etc/gimp /usr/lib/gimp /usr/bin/X11/gimp /usr/share/gimp /usr/share/man/man1/gimp.1.gz

I get an error message. This message informs me that the plug-in is dead. Does not start, the mathmap non work.

Thx.

Hi

I do hope to get some response here, despite the topic is slieghlty older.

I have tried to set up and got fairly far down until

Quote:

=====
Now open the terminal and go to "/mathmap-src" path and run "make":
make

and my result is:

Code: Select all

arran@arran-kubuntu-13:~/mathmap-src$ make
clisp builtins.lisp
*** - LOAD: Eine Datei mit Namen lisp-utils/utils.lisp gibt es nicht.
make: *** [compiler_types.h] Fehler 1

Offtopic :

«Eine Datei mit Namen ... gibt es nicht» means «There is no file named ...»

I have searched on my computer and in the repos for an appropriate file, but find none.

Any suggestions? Many thanks. I sorely missed MathMap since I left Windows three years ago.

I am running on Kubuntu 13.10

To get past that error, you'll need to run the following from your "/mathmap-src" path

Code: Select all

git submodule init && git submodule update

Your next hurdle with probably be the "libnoise" issue. See YAFU's first post in this thread for the solution, which involves copying "Doxyfile" and running make directly from the /mathmap-src/libnoise/noise/ folder.

On my Linux distribution (Fedora 20), I also had to install libgif-devel.

Thanks for doing this tutorial. Very helpful, though for me it was much less painful. Had to install some packages though ( I'm on Linux Mint 17.1). But libraries seemed to be where they were expected. MM running fine, now.

I made a Mathmap 1.3.5 package for Ubuntu 14.04-based systems that are amd64.
