in reply to A little Gimp script

From the TIMTOWTDI desk:

You might also want to consider Image::Magick, which does all the resizing things without having to have an X server running and Gimp loaded.

Gimp is great for user-driven image manipulation, but when it's script-driven, ImageMagick has been much easier to use for my projects.

    I want to thank you all!!! :-) but... :-(
    I'm trying to install Image::Magick but I have errors like these:
    Magick.xs:359: error: (near initialization for `Methods[74].arguments[
+3]')
Magick.xs:359: error: initializer element is not constant
...

    [download]
    and then: 
    make: *** [Magick.o] Error 1

    [download]
    I have installed libraries, perl-magick etc...and edited Makefile to find my libraries...

    And what about Imager module??

    Thanks a lot, monks

      Have you tried a binary version of the perl-magick package. I also had problems with a source install of the Image::Magick but I installed the .rpm's for PerlMagick and IM that were packaged for my distro(Mandrake) and I got it to work. On Windows, perlMagick was an option during the ImageMagick binary install.

      I believe .debs are availible as well if you are an apt user.

      If you can't get the module to install, you can fall back to calling the ImageMagick command line utilities (which is what I do because I didn't know about Image::Magick when I started using ImageMagick.) IM binaries are available for most OSes (even Win32).
