G'MIC

---

I have been trying to update G'MIC on my windows 10 64-bit machine for several weeks. When I tried and do it through the G'MIC plugin in my Gimp program, the link leads to a 404 error page. When I use the web address, I am able to download the update file.

A few weeks ago when I ran the update exe file it froze my system. I was able to recover after a few minutes.

I just tried again. I again got the 404 message when clicking the link in G'MIC in Gimp. I went to the website using the first part of the link in my G'MIC in gimp- http://gmic.eu/ . I went to the downloads page, and downloaded the version for windows 64-bit. When I run the setup it seems to work correctly. When I try to open gimp, I get the following error-" the procedure entry point pthread_setname_np could not be located in the dynamic link library." Under that "C:\Users\grits\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\libglib-2.0-0.dll."

I get that twice, then Gimp opens. I then try and open G'MIC. I get that same error message.Then I get an error that the "Plug-in crashed: "gmic_gimp.exe"" and I may want to save and restart Gimp.

I did look at the gimp download site beforehand and my version number matched the latest there.

Edit- After posting this I did reinstall to the latest stable version of gimp from gimp.org. It didn't change anything.

Edit2: There is a version of the libglib-2.0-0.dll file in my plugins folder, dated 10/13/2016.

Thanks for any help.

Have you got the latest QT version. You will need that to be able to update.

What is a QT version?

This is what I installed- gmic_gimp_qt_win64

I picked: G'MIC plug-in for GIMP (2.8+), Windows 64 bits: installer

I clicked Latest stable version: 2.02 (above that text) beforehand.

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this?

Thank you

Try uninstalling G'MIC, then download the zip file and create a directory in your user GIMP folder, then use GIMP's interface to add a path to the G'MIC plugin. I don't like or trust installers and always use alternative ways if given them and this is both the original way to install G'MIC and my preferred way to do so.

Problem solved. When I went in to remove the recently installed G'MIC, I found an older version was also installed. (I thought I had removed it.) I removed both versions, and since I wasn't 100% sure how to do the manual install, I took a chance and did the usual install. It's working now, thanks to you both!

Glad you got the problem solved.

This is good to know. I have 3 versions of G'Mic and, although I haven't gotten an error msg, I don't think it has ever actually updated.
