   19 the runtime and development packages for the following libraries:
   20 
   21    1) gimp 2.4.x
   22    2) glib2
   23    3) gtk+2
   24    4) pango
   25    5) atk
   26    6) pkg-config

   30 Installation
   31 =======================================
   32 
   33 1. Type 'make' to build the plugin
   34 2. Type 'make install' to install the plugin. By default the plugin will be
   35 installed in your GIMP user plugin directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.4/plug-ins).  If
   36 you want to install the plugin system-wide, as root you must manually copy the
   37 plugin to the system GIMP plugin directory.
