Re: Installing PerlMagick

I've had tons of hassles with PerlMagick, I believe (at least the last time I tried it) I had to comment out some of the libraries in the Makefile.PL because the compile switches weren't turning them off correctly. I've also found the Imager module to be much easier to install and just as effective.

That's cool thanks i'll check that module out. I'm fed up with PerlMagick, i've tried installing it from source a couple of times now, but still it fails on 28 of the tests. And is giving me errors... Does Imager still require that I have ImageMagick installed?

Runs to look at it real fast It appears to use its own library. You will need to make sure to have libraries for the different image types installed though, but you should have them if you managed to get ImageMagick installed you should have most of them. Just be careful if you install from CPAN to have them first, because it will compile anyway without support for libs it couldn't find. (CPAN speeds past the nice little screen that tells you what you've got support for :) ) Lobster Aliens Are attacking the world!	[reply]
