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.

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

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

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.
