in thread ImageMagick not installing

Which version of perl do you have?

The version you can get from imagemagick.org is for Perl5.8 (they haven't updated the installer to reflect this -- i've emailed them about it)

http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver.pl?urn:/PPMServer has a Image-Magick-5.26. It is a perl-5.6x compatible repository. I'm should be in your list.

Here are some other 5.6 repositories (including mine)

    I've just upgraded to 5.8.0 and I have the .ppd from imagemagick.org but, that is the one that is giving me the error when I try to install. It's very strange, I'll bet that the Perl Magick files need to be in a different directory than the one it was installed to (but that is just a guess).
    Thanks,

      Really. Maybe they switched it back to perl5.6? Did you try the repositories?

      If you get desperate, simply go to my repository( http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm) and try out the script listed there to bypass the ppm shell (cause it SUCKS).

      update:
      If you still can't get it i'll see about putting up a version on my repository tomorrow.
