It does not tell me the build for which the PPD is intended What was the actual command that you ran ? The information you seek would be contained within the PPD file that was read. Just download Image-Magick.ppd, and look at the "ARCHITECTURE NAME" entries therein. Each "ARCHITECTURE NAME" entry will specify a supported build of perl. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Where might I download this from and know that it is for Strawberry Perl? I found one here... `http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Image-Magick.ppd` ...but IIRC bribes.org is a source for ActiveState Perl modules, is it not? Anyhow, I'll try out Strawberry Perl 5.16 and see how that goes.	[reply] [d/l]

...but IIRC bribes.org is a source for ActiveState Perl modules No - the Bribes' PPM packages should also work fine with any Windows build of perl that has the same $Config{archname} and version as specified in the PPD file (which you can grab at www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Image-Magick.ppd btw).

SOLVED! Image-Magick installed via PPM for Strawberry Perl 5.16. So did Tk and GD-Graph.	[reply]

Have you tried doing it via `cpan`? I think this is the more common method on Strawberry Perl, and although the compilation stage can apparently be a bit tricky, Google shows a whole lot of workarounds for potential issues.	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, I tried cpan. But on cpan I get a different and more alarming failure. A pop-up complains "ld.exe has stopped working" and when that is acknowledged then cpan complains as below... `ld returned 255 exit status` `dmake.exe: Error code 128, while making 'blib\arch\auto\Image\Magick\Magick.xs.dll'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What did you try to install? Try https://metacpan.org/release/PerlMagick, try `cpanm JCRISTY/PerlMagick-6.89-1.tar.gz`	[reply] [d/l]

`cpanm JCRISTY/PerlMagick-6.89-1.tar.gz` ...resulted in the same error as when running the PPM. Something called `ld` stops working, and then the session ends.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I was in Strawberry's own PPM, and ran "install Perl-Magick"	[reply]
