What did I do wrong?

That very pretty magazine had a great article on GMIC.
So I tried to install GMIC - but failed.

What's the next step in installing the GMIC gimp plugin?

After reading the article, I downloaded GMIC gmic_1.5.4.1.tar.gz from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmic/?source=directory

I extracted to create a gmic-1.5.4.0 directory using this sequence:
$ gunzip gmic_1.5.4.0.tar.gz
$ tar xvf gmic_1.5.4.0.tar
$ view gmic-1.5.4.0/README
To install the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP, you have to copy
the file 'gmic_gimp' (Unix) to the plug-in folder of
your GIMP installation.
$ sudo updatedb; locate plug-ins|grep gimp
/home/usr1/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins
/home/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins
$ ls -ld /home/usr1/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins
drwxr-xr-x. 22 usr1 usr1 4096 Mar 6 06:01 /home/usr1/.gimp-2.6/

$ cd ./gmic-1.5.4.0/src/
$ make install
mkdir -p `/home/usr1/.gimp-2.6`/plug-ins/
/bin/sh: /home/usr1/.gimp-2.6: is a directory

$ make install
mkdir -p `/tmp`/plug-ins/
/bin/sh: /tmp: is a directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/plug-ins/': Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1

Does anyone else see these errors on Linux?

Well the message tells you you need to have permission to create
directories. Type sudo with a space before your command and after that
the root password when prompted.

Or even better get that package through a repository. I can see it in
Ubuntu Software Centre. Search for gmic.

In Centos, it's never simple to install non-enterprise software ...

$ yum --noplugins --showduplicates --enablerepo \* --disablerepo c6-media,
\*-source,\*debug\* provides "*/gmic"

I appreciate the suggestions.

This is the unedited original command in the Makefile:
PLUGINDIR = `gimptool-2.0 --gimpplugindir`/plug-ins

That backquoted command won't work because there is no gimptool:
$ gimp --version
REPORTED: GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.6.9
$ gimptool --gimpplugindir
REPORTED: bash: gimptool: command not found
$ gimp --gimpplugindir
REPORTED: Unknown option --gimpplugindir
$ sudo updatedb; locate gimptool
REPORTED: nothing

So, I tried putting all three suggestions together in the Makefile,
and, that result worked (thanks) - but it failed a bit later:

$ vi Makefile
CHANGE FROM: PLUGINDIR = `gimptool-2.0 --gimpplugindir`/plug-ins
CHANGE TO: PLUGINDIR = /tmp/plug-ins
$ make install
REPORTED:
mkdir -p /tmp/plug-ins/
cp -f gmic_gimp /tmp/plug-ins/
cp: cannot stat `gmic_gimp': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

However, it still fails. So, I think I'll give up, for now as I just
wanted to test it out but it's becoming too hard for me to compile it.

$ make clean
(works fine)
$ make <=== Fails with numerous errors, the first of which is:
In file included from gmic.h:71,
from gmic.cpp:884:
./CImg.h:259:17: error: png.h: No such file or directory
./CImg.h:272:21: error: jpeglib.h: No such file or directory
./CImg.h:286:20: error: tiffio.h: No such file or directory
... and so on ...

Thanks for the help. This is one that will have to wait until Centos
gets it in a repository (which is likely never, given Centos' mission).

No the right sort of gimp, I was looking for a mask

Just run Ubuntu or Mint off an USB stick or SD card. Use UNetbootin to create the bootable USB media and reserve space for OS use. If you like it and suits your needs create a partition and have a dual boot.

Hmmm... I'm not all that experienced in using Makefiles, but,
there is no "configure" in the src directory.

$ cd /tmp/gmic-1.5.4.0/src
$ ls *ls configure*
No such file or directory.

$ yum --noplugins --showduplicates --enablerepo \* --disablerepo c6-media,

Wow. That will be tedious. I think I'm going to have to just give up,
as this would just be the start of the cascade. This tool unfortunately,
wasn't built for the average user (at least on Centos) to employ.

Not this one. There is a very short README file, which says nothing
about how to compile. There is no INSTALL file.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. Every time I try to install
anything on Centos, it drives me crazy. Half the time I win; the
other half I give up (which is going to be the case this time).

Thanks!

Ooops., That was "ls configure", but, even an ls -alsF or ls .??* doesn't
find a configure. And there is no "make configure" either.

Here's what 'is' in the src directory:
