BIMP not installing, with GIMP 2.10.34 and OS-X Ventura 13.2.1

[allmyeye]

After failing to install BIMP under Ventura 13.1, I installed this update and uninstalled/reinstalled the latest version of GIMP.

On double-clicking the downloaded BIMP install program (4th attempt, hence the number 4 below) I got the following feedback in Terminal:

<< Last login: Sun Mar 19 16:54:43 on ttys000 /Users/jcr/Downloads/gimp-plugin-bimp_macos\ 4/install ; exit;
jcr@New-iMac ~ % /Users/jcr/Downloads/gimp-plugin-bimp_macos\ 4/install ; exit; BIMP is installed. You can close the program.

Saving session... ...copying shared history... ...saving history...truncating history files... ...completed.

I had to grant permission (in System Settings/Privacy & Security) to open the files, as described in the readme.txt, but nevertheless install did not succeed. There is no trace of an installed plug-in whether I search through the plug-ins browser in GIMP, or using Finder.

Any suggestions/help would be most gratefully received.

Hi @alessandrofrancesconi

In my case, with last version of GIMP, 2.10.34, the installation app takes this name: GIMP.app instead of GIMP-2.10. I had to change the name but I still having errors trying to execute the plugin directly from plug-ins folder, the weird part I think is because requested dll point to /lib/lib/

The installer seems to be happy with what it does, but nothing happens to GIMP itself. This is what I get if I double click on the BIMP executable. I am way out of my depth, but it looks as though the expected file structure doesn't exist? Can anyone advise me, please?

Me too suffering from this error and I even tried to install it with MacPorts the follow the Linux installation and finally it appeared but when I try to use it it gives error immediately

[petereitz]

I was seeing similar behavior on my M1 mini running MacOS 12.4 and GIMP 2.10.34, then noticed the architecture errors. fwiw, following the instructions to build from scratch did the trick.
