I encountered the following error when starting Gimp 2.4.2 for Windows, “entry point libiconv_set_relocation_prefix could not be located in … iconv.dll.” I found the file in the Gimp bin directory, so what is the problem?
I found another version of the iconv.dll library located in the system32 directory, so I replaced the file in the system32 directory with a copy of the iconv.dll file located in the Gimp bin directory, nice!
The file in my system32 directory does not have version information, but is 852kb. The iconv.dll version in the Gimp bin directory is 1.9.0 and is 876kb in size. I hope this post helps others.
