  • GIMP 2.10 -- Error message

    From Charlie Roberts@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 3 17:12:38 2019
    I finally went to GIMP 2.10 as I was having font problems with
    2.8.

    Works fine, but I get an error message at start up:

    The procedure entry point g_file_test could not be located
    in the dynamic library C:\Program Files\GIMP\2\bin\libgimp-2.0.dll

    Other than that, I see only one other message (I did not not
    it down) that appears once in a while when GIMP is actually
    running.

    Any ideas on why I am getting this message and what the
    effects may be?

    thanks

    most likely it has to do with not matching g'mic versions.

    I also unistalled GMIC and now GIMP 2.10 starts up without
    errors. When I went to uninstall from Windows, I see that
    the programme name has 2.8 and not 2.10.

    It appears that the GMIC installer I have
    (gmic_2.8.0_gimp2.10_win64) is not the correct one.

    Is there another?

    thanks

    Thanks. You are correct. GMIC was not installed.

    I unistalled GIMP 2.10, removed the .gimp2.8 directory in my user
    path, reinstalled GIMP 2.10.

    The downloaded GMCI installer is called

    gmic_2.8.0_gimp2.10_win64

    Is this the correct one? This is what I had used earlier and this is
    what I see on the website given above. I installed it, but when
    GIMP starts up, it issues the same error message and I see that
    GMIC is no in the Filters menu.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    thanks

    Something broken in the above installer ... if it is the correct
    one.

    I downloaded the zip archive and stuck the contents
    (directory named gmic_gimp_qt) in
    C:\Users/[my_directory]\.gimp_2.10.

    Works fine as far as I can tell.

    Thanks for the help.

    if you can use g'mic within Gimp you should have solved the problem.
    I looked at my g'mic version and I use 2.6.4 .... win64.
    It looks like installing 2.8.0 creates new problems <(sigh >.
    Thanks for the warning.

    My GMIC says G'MIC -Qt for GIMP 2.10 - Windows 64 bits - 2.8.0.

    I cannot figure this out! Looks like 2.8.0 works for me if I get the
    zip file, unzip and use the files, but not when I get the installer
    to do it. My guess is that there is something broken in the
    installer ... at least for me.

    Looks like 2.8.0 is not the problem.
