I have Kubuntu 12.04.01 with GIMP 2.06. On a previous installation I used DBP . I found it worked well on resizing images, and want to re-install it. Although I managed before, I cannot now remember how, though there must have been an easy way to do it! Can anyone help, please?
DBP and Gimp 2.2.7 for Windows. There where a bug in the jpeg.exe in GIMP for Windows 2.2.6 GIMP f. Anyone using GIMP 2, Yes the thing with the little dog as the icon. To install GIMP you’ll need Mac OS X, either 10.4.11 (Tiger), 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mountain Lion). Tiger and Leopard users can install GIMP 2.6, and Snow Leopard and above can use the latest version of GIMP (right now, that’s GIMP 2.8.4).

Perhaps for you will be actual more to use new versions instead dbp-1.1.5.

Download the tgz file to your desktop from DBP archive
Open a terminal, and run the following:
You may be prompted for a Yes/No answer here (confirming the use of hard drive space). Just type ‘y’ and hit enter. Then, enter the following:
In the next command, substitute “[username]” with your username.
Then continue, entering the following commands in turn each time you get a fresh command prompt.
Then build, and install package:
Once all that is done, open up GIMP and go to (UPDATE Jan.2012):
Filters >> Batch Process
From the dropdown, select Batch Process and the world is your oyster!
Let me know if this works well for you.
Enjoy!

swiftswiftAt last I now have DBP in my GIMP in which I acknowledge help from swift (above) the community and the author's blog, which I advise anyone wanting DBP to read.

Whilst I was trying to install, I looked for DBP under the Script Fu tab. It is now under Filters, so I don't know how many of the steps below were actually necessary; anyway here's what I did:

I downloaded http://www.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbpSrc-1-1-9.tgzThere may be a later one, which would amend the following slightly.
Open a terminal, and run the following:
Then I went to File manager (Dolphin), navigated to root/usr/src/dbp1.1.9. Firstly I right clicked on every file then selected Properties>Permissions to ensure that MyUserName was owner then checked the “is executable” box. I then opened the file Makefile with GNU Emacs and amended the sixth line to read #NODEPS = -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED.
Then back to the terminal...
I hope that this will help other inexperienced users who want to install this excellent plug-in.
