I have downloaded Resynthesizer, to get Heal Selection and Heal

I made the .py files executable, and transferred them and the

that GIMP specifies is where plug-ins should go
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins
"Heal-___" appear in the menu, but when I activate the form, I get the
following error window detail:

error: procedure not found
Running from terminal, I found why the procedure was not found:
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/resynthesizer: error while loading shared
libraries: libgimpui-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/resynthesizer-gui: error while loading shared
libraries: libgimpui-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Some research seems to indicate that "wrong ELF class" is a 32-bit vs
64-bit issue.
Since I installed Lubuntu 16.10 as 64-bit, I guess I should assume that
the resynthesizer* files somehow are 32-bit.
Does there exist a 64-bit version of resynthesizer, or is there a way
around this problem?
There was no mention of this issue where I got the files:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/27986
Google-ing the problem only resulted in two suggestions:
1. get a different GIMP that already has Heal-x and Resynth. installed
(throw the baby out with the bathwater)
2. install gimp-plugin-registry (install what seems like hundreds of
plugins that I don't want, to get the 2 or 3 that I do want = Overkill -
Similar to when I originally tried to get Nemo file manager, and (at the
time) also had to install the entire Cinnamon desktop...)
There must be a place to get just the two resynthesizer files, that are
compatible with my system...
(One assumes that the .py files, being interpreted scripts, don't come
in 32-bit vs 64-bit versions.)
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'.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what I was talking about in #2 above of the suggestions made to
me...
You suggest " 'gimp-plugin-registry' (several useful plugins including
resynthesizer) and 'gmic'."
It may indeed have several useful plugins, but in fact it has a total of
179 or so plugins and scripts
(~24 plugins, ~155 scripts), most of which I am not likely to use. (Yes,
I realize there are not 179 totally different
plugins/scripts - Resynthesizer accounts for 10 plugins by itself alone).
(Counted from list of files @ "
http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/amd64/gimp-plugin-registry/filelist"; -
having omitted to count various help/locale files)
No doubt in the future, I would want to see lists of the most useful
scripts/plugins for given tasks, but even then, I would probably want
to install them separately.
[gmic does not seem to be present in 'gimp-plugin-registry', but does seem
to be present separately in my repositories as 'gmic' and 'gimp-gmic']
For the moment, I just need 64-bit compatible Resynthesizer and
Resynthesizer-gui files...
If all else falils, I suppose I must download the source and compile them.
https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer
should have what I would need, but it is not at all clear what source
files and compile scripts would be needed, nor exactly how to download
them...
