You seem to have done all the obvious - permissions etc.

I assume you are using the Gimp 2.9 profile ~/.config/GIMP/2.9/plug-ins. Is that
correct? There is a deprecated procedure in plugin-heal-selection.py that throws
up warnings but it should work.

Where did you get resynthesizer from? Is it the correct flavour 32/64 bit ?
Strange that it fails with regular Gimp as well. Does resynthesizer alone show
and work: Filters -> Map -> Resynthesize Again is everything in the appropriate
Gimp profile.

Do other python plugins work OK?

Do you run Gimp with compatibility mode on? If not try it.

gimp2.9  --pdb-compat-mode=on

I keep a small collection of "2.9 plug-ins" that work for me, includes resynth &
heal-selection. Using Kubuntu 16.04 which AFAIK is equivalent to Mint 18. As a
long shot you could try that version.
