As a PClinuxOS KDE 32 bit user.

The plugins come from here:

and a quick test work (more-or-less) at least they alter an image.

There was a Gimp update a couple of days ago
gimp (2.8.14-3pclos2014) to 2.8.14-4pclos2015 Have you updated? Although I do 
not think that makes any difference.

The plugins are from 2009, and almost certainly need updating.
