[SOLVED]Gimp G'MIC plugin not showing in filter list

I installed gimp-plugin-gmic via pacman, but it doesn't show in the filter list. I have tried logging out/in and even rebooting yet it still won't show. I used the file command on the gmic_gimp in ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins and got this output

gmic_gimp: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=e909fc912907946a15df0bb564771ea8ad414627, stripped

Everything looks fine to me, but it won't work. My Arch installation is sharing a /home partition with another distro, could this be having an effect?

This is just a guess, but the plug-in that you have in ~/gimp-2.8 is not the one that pacman installed. It looks like it was built using an older tool chain and my not be working. What happens if you move that file out of the way?

Thank you, skottish, that fixed it! Once I removed that file the plugin started working. Much appreciated, friend
