I assume you are working on Windows. My advice, which is based on my lack of knowledge of that operationg system, is:

open the file explorer
go to the folder C:\Programmi\GIMP-2.0\share\locale\it\LC_MESSAGES or something similar¹
delete the file gimp20-lqr-plugin.mo, or change its name to something else like gimp20-lqr-plugin-backup.mo or whatever

I hope this helps.

Hello, I have downloaded the plugin and installed it correctly. but because I bought my laptop in Italy, the plugin uses Italian language! Despite the fact that the GIMP itself uses English language. So my question is, how to change the language of the plugin into English? Thanx a lot

There is apparently a 64-bit Windows version around now, see the comments in this page:

That would be a big problem, wouldn't it! Thanks, I appreciate it (even though I was looking forward to trying it out).

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Liquid Rescale plug-in.

From what I read, the problem is with the plug-in which is used internally by GIMP to open jpeg files.

Therefore, you should better ask for help on the official GIMP channels.

I believe that the problem is the incompatibility between 64-bit and 32-bit applications. The plugin is compiled for 32-bit versions only.

This seems like the right subject-matter thread for my question, although it's not quite the same as the OP's original question.

My problem is this: I am running the x64 version of GIMP 2.6.8 on the 64-bit version of Vista. My registry does contain the entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinGimp-2.0_is1\InstallLocation" and the value is the one listed: "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\" however, here is what happens when I tried to install the .71 version of the plug-in.

First, the installer said that it couldn't find the installed copy of GIMP, and that I would have to manually point to the folder where GIMP was installed. I did that, and then the installer appeared to work. However, when then tried to fire up GIMP, I got several errors stating that the plugin had terminated; I got the error dialogue window twice, clicked through it, and then when GIMP had finished starting up, the plugin entry on the Layers menu was not there.

The error log entry that I found in the Vista event viewer says this: "Faulting application plug_in_lqr_iter.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4c10d2d1, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e03824, exception code 0xc000007b, fault offset 0x0006f04e, process id 0xdf4, application start time 0x01cb3f3a866ffb55."

Is it possible that this is related to the fact that I'm running the x64 version of 2.6.8 (which I understand is considered experimental, so I understand if that applies to this plugin as well), and that the GIMP installation is therefore installed in the Programs file for 64-bit applications instead of being installed to the Programs folder that Vista reserves for 32-bit applications?

You may consider giving the command

 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig

before calling configure to avoid setting flags by hand.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LQR_CFLAGS
and LQR_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

compile lqr plugin [solved]: Re: compile lqr plugin

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:47:47 +0000

this is wrong

 LQR_CFLAGS=/usr/include/lqr-1/lqr.h

it should be

 LQR_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/lqr-1

If you look at the command line and the error message of make, you'll see that, because of the wrong flag, it's trying to compile 2 files at once, lqr.h and main.c.
(BTW you shouldn't be needing any additional flags normally, ./configure should be able to take care of the liblqr flags.)

It looks like you've only installed the liblqr library. Install the plugin as well and it should show up.
