Hello donGoGo.

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

Plug-in is present in Filters→Generic→Mathmap but not work

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

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.
I uploaded it here:

"Love your avatar".
Thanks Rod. It's a GIF re-processed by an online GIF editor that can make it go backwards.
Like this one:

Installing Mathmap.
The final thing I did was to make a symbolic link.
cd ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/; ln -s /usr/bin/mathmap

After that Mathmap is not 'greyed-out' and should work. I originally followed YAFU's instructions.
