Using Windows
Use the Windows uninstaller to uninstall Gimp
Delete anything remaining in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\
Delete the Gimp user profile if there is one C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10
Get the latest Gimp from http://www.gimp.org (If you are using a VPN the one you have might be corrupt. The Gimp developers provide a hash sum on the download page)
Install Gimp
Try again.

Sorry for not replying sooner, I thought that I had right away but apparently it didn't actually post so that is unfortunate.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply and try to help with my issue.

I had not previously had gimp installed on this system so there would not have been remnants from any previous installation.

After I installed gimp and experienced this issue, I attempted what you suggested before I ever came to this forum to ask for help.

I cannot seem to find much info specific to what I am running into and it is rather frustrating.

Any other ideas?

Not really, Never worked for you, still does not work after a reinstall, probably never going to work for you.

Try a portable version. https://samjcreations.blogspot.com/2021/...28_16.html

That avoids any conflicts from the regular install and contains its own Gimp profile folder. Start it with one of the language launchers that come with it.

Might work.

Did you ever get it fixed I'm having the same bug?

Looking at the source code, the "trc" is just an internal conversion table  between color spaces (2.2 is a gamma). What is weird is that the "2.2" table seems to be constructed by default...

Any lines above  failed to find trc '2.2' in  a .c file?

I doubt the op will come back but I think we probably have the same problem. Where can I find this file you speak of?

What I means it that the message is:

Code:

../babl/babl-internal.h:214 babl_log()

So the message is showing what piece of code called it (here in ../babl/babl-internal.h). But since this is the piece of code that is used to print the message this doesn't help much, and perhaps there are more lines above these ones that mention other parts of the code (what we call the "stack trace"), so we can tell where in the code this happens.

Take a look at the report I made here. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/7856
