You'll probably need to install libpng12 from the Fedora repositories.

As root, from terminal..

Code: Select all

yum install libpng12

Also, ensure the execute bit is set (permissions).

I already tried libpng12 and the execution bit is set, but it just doesn't seem to get loaded by GIMP.

Run GIMP from terminal and if it's kicking an error when trying to load G'MIC, you should see the message at the console. I'm running G'MIC in Fedora 20, so I can confirm that it does work.

I'm using G'MIC 1.5.9.2, the one entitled: gmic_gimp_linux64.zip
