[Gimp-user] (no subject)

[Paula Koval <paula koval gmail com>]

Hello, All!  I am a casual user of Gimp and I was trying to re-learn how to
put a text layer on top of a gif image.

I found a gif image to use for practice and I copied its URL to use to
Create Image From Webpage.  I did that because I figured that the gif image
would lose its motion if I tried to copy it to clipboard and then to Gimp.

So I entered the gif image URL into its proper place and this is the error
message that I got:  TLS/SSL support not available; install glib-networking

I made a Google inquiry for Install Glib Networking and I found things that
I do not understand.  I do not know how to open the files that I found to
get to the Install program, so I am asking for help with this.  Please tell
me how to install Glib Networking.

I have another issue with Gimp.  This evening I deleted my existing copy of
Gimp and downloaded and installed the entire Gimp suite from the Gimp site
so I could have a clean copy of the latest revision.  I followed directions
to install it.

When I opened the Gimp program, I got an error message that there is a
missing file. This is the error message:  The procedure entry point
g_get_home_dir_utf8 could not be located in the dynamic link library
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gap_decode_mplayer.exe  Is
this a fatal error?  Do I need to fix it?  Please tell me what the fix is.

Any help that you can share with me is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Paula
