[mdlug] Gimp plugin.

[Garry Stahl]

I am trying to install a gimp plug in, it requires compiling, something
I have never done.

To me this looks like it failed.  the plugin is gimp-ilbm-0.9.4 , to
give me access to my old Amiga graphic files.  Yes ,I need them.  Could
someone explain in words of one syllable what went wrong here?  I am NOT
CLI competent.  I was following the instructions given.
