Not working with GIMP 2.7.5

Aliby 14 Mar 2012 05:57

I installed Gimp 2.7.5 from Gimp Win (sourceforge gimp-win project) onto Windows XP SP3.

I installed LQR 7 and had to browse to the install folder as the autodetect could not locate GIMP. Seemed to install OK and I can find the main file in "C:\Program Files\Gimp 2.7\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gimp-lqr-plugin.exe" along with a number of the other LQR files.

However, when I start Gimp and it queries new plugins a pop-up warning titled "gimp-lrq-plugin.exe - Entry Point Not Found" states:
"The procedure entry point gimp_drawable_get_thumbnail could not be located in the dynamic link library libgimpui-2.0-0.dll"

Once started I cannot seem to find LQR anywhere in the menus.

Any guidance appreciated or I can answer any questions if you wish to trouble shoot.

Thanks,

I have the same Problem with GIMP 2.8.0-RC1 thanks…

I was able to get it to work by copying the libgimpui-2.0-0.dll from a previous (2.6) version (I also am using 2.8) but doing that breaks other things (like loading .jpg's) so I feel confident that it is a problem with the newer version of that library. Hope this helps…

Hi !
Same problem with my newly downloaded portable 2.8 windows 7- 64 bits on an USB key. Fortunately, I have kept my trusted 2.6.12 on my HD.

There's now a new version of the installer which hopefully fixes the problems. I have not tested the PortableApps version but I don't expect particular troubles there.

(Sorry for the long wait, compiling GIMP 2.8 under Windows took me a LOOONG time and was a nightmare, it's almost a miracle I finally made it.)

I just installed the new version Gimp 2.8.0 onto my Windows 7 64-bit laptop and am receiving the following error when I start it up:
"The procedure entry point gimp_drawable_get_thumnail could not be located in the dynamic link library libgimpui-2.0-0.dll"
Is there anyway I can fix this and how does it affect using this program? Thank you for any assistance you can give me.

Did you try with the plugin version which was recompiled specifically for GIMP 2.8? It's in the download page, below the previous one. It was actually made for GIMP 2.8RC1 but hopefully it will work for the new GIMP version anyway.

Note: the installer still probably needs some work, please uninstall the previous plugin version from the Control Panel and then install the new one. If you have problems, follow the instructions closely.
