cannot install plug-ins for Gimp in Xubuntu 14.04

I am trying to install "Upsize.C" and "noise-generator-0.2.5" for gimp.

for upsize.c happens this:

christian@mobile02:~/software/gimp-plug-ins$ gimptool-2.0 --install upsize.c

now I do not understand what is wrong, I did this operation already several times successfully on previous versions

still I am sure it is something very simple

Thank you all for your help

I know this answer is a lot late but if you are facing the same issue, if found a solution for noise generator(I didn't use the other plugin yet). In the make file for src directory in noise generator folder add -lm to $(PLUGIN)

CFLAGS = -O3 -Wall $(shell gimptool-2.0 --cflags)
LIBS = $(shell gimptool-2.0 --libs)
PLUGIN = noise-generator
SOURCES = plugin.c noise.c events.c interface.c colour.c poisson_gui.c gauss_gui.c uniform_gui.c laplace_gui.c lorentz_gui.c
HEADERS = plugin.h interface.h messages.h
# END CONFIG ##################################################################
.PHONY: all install userinstall clean uninstall useruninstall
all: $(PLUGIN)
OBJECTS = $(subst .c,.o,$(SOURCES))
$(PLUGIN): $(OBJECTS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $^ $(LIBS) -lm
%.o: %.c $(HEADERS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c -o $@ $*.c -lm
install: $(PLUGIN) @gimptool-2.0 --install-admin-bin $^
userinstall: $(PLUGIN) @gimptool-2.0 --install-bin $^
uninstall: @gimptool-2.0 --uninstall-admin-bin $(PLUGIN)
useruninstall: @gimptool-2.0 --uninstall-bin $(PLUGIN)
clean: rm -f *.o *~ $(PLUGIN)

also for make install you need to run as root. So do sudo su before giving the make install command.

I am not sure if it works for Xubuntu 14.04 but it certainly works on Ubuntu 15.04

Hope it helps

try this

sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev
sudo make install
