if you are on Ubuntu or a variant, you can get up-to-date Gimp and a 
matching copy of the more popular plugins (including resynthesizer) by 
adding Otto Kesselgulash's PPA to your software sources:

https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp

From there you can install packages 'gimp' (which is the latest version 
2.8.18), 'gimp-plugin-registry' (several useful plugins including 
resynthesizer) and 'gmic'.
