Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) liquid rescale plugin debs for amd64

Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) liquid rescale plugin debian package built on amd64

was so excited to learn about the gimp plugin at the gimp blog
Sigh had to compile my own source again cos i was using amd64
turns out its simple but the info is not mentioned anywhere.

first up you have to type this in a console so you can compiling plugins for The GIMP

sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev

I am goiing to assume you have the other essentials to compile packages
so the next step is to go here to install the lib for liquid rescale

basically its download then follow the instructions

tar -vxzf liblqr-1-X.Y.Z-T.tar.gz

where you will substitute what's appropriate for X.Y.Z-T
This will create a directory called liblqr-1-X.Y.Z, enter into it and issue

./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install

and to repeat for the gimp plugin source the instructions are found from here.

tar -vxzf gimp-lqr-plugin_X.Y.Z-T.tar.gz

where you will substitute what's appropriate for X.Y.Z-T.
This will create a directory called gimp-lqr-plugin_X.Y.Z, enter into it and issue

./configure && make && sudo make install

I used checkinstall instead of 'make install' so I have the amd64 deb package precompiled. Drop me a comment maybe i can email to you or something. But I make no claims for the package to work on your system or nor am I responsible for any damage it may cause.

Using pre-compiled binaries from unknown sources is dangerous and I recommend you not to do it. But I am mostly harmless :)
