Operating System: Linux
OS Version: Fedora19 [64-bit]
GIMP Experience: Beginner Level

I haven't been able to run resynthesizer since my last upgrade. When I go to use the heal tool I get this message. When I try yo yum install resynthesizer I get a message no package available. Can anyone see the problem here?
I also posted the error that occurred running the heal selection.

Below are the plugins I have installed for resynthesizer

Well, I know very little about Fedora + YUM, firmly fixed in PCLOS + synaptic

but I do know that the package is not called a straight "resynthesizer". Looks like in Fedora it is
gimp-resynthesizer
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/a ... ynthesizer

---------------
edit there is a nastly little line there
"Creation Date Not yet implemented"

It is not difficult to compile, I upgraded myself a few weeks ago. A better way is steal the files from another Fedora 64 user and pop them in your ~/gimp-2.8/plug-ins directory
--------------

All being well and a 64bit package exists (not always a given).
It should install the 2 files 'resynthesizer' and 'resynthesizer-gui' in your global folder
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/

best of luck

thanks Rich, I will look into this.
Edit: I now used the yum install gimp-resynthesizer and that worked, but it didn't place the resynthesizer and resynthesizer.gui into the /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/. All I saw there was resynth and it appears that it was there since Feb-02-13.
I tried the heal tool and it now works but doesn't do the job, instead of removing the selection, it just spreads it around and warps it. Anyway thanks.

You are going to have to ask one of your Fedora buddies.

If you search you can always get some info on these packages. example
rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/20518183/dir/fedora_19/com/gimp-resynthesizer-0.16-8.fc19.x86_64.rpm.html

says
Content of RPM :
/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/resynth
/usr/share/doc/gimp-resynthesizer-0.16
/usr/share/doc/gimp-resynthesizer-0.16/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/gimp-resynthesizer-0.16/README
/usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/smart-enlarge.scm
/usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/smart-remove.scm

so there is just the single file resynth, maybe you have a duplicate file from that old installation?
I wonder why there is no GUI, presumably the is no menu entry either, Filter -> Map -> Resynthesize.

no there is no filter - map - Resynthesize, I wondered about that too.
Thanks, Rich, I got it going now woo hoo. thanks.
