Hello,

I have installed Plucker on a Red Hat 7.2 box from
plucker_bin-1.2.tar.gz along with plucker-desktop-1.2.0.0.i386.rpm
package.

I have the following netpbm RPM's installed:

  netpbm-progs-9.24-6
  netpbm-devel-9.24-6
  netpbm-9.24-6

When parsing images with bbp > 1 I get the following error (the error is
from Wired News' AvantGo channel):

Error:  Runtime error parsing document

 call to '( cat -quiet |pnmtopalm -depth 16 -quiet  > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) 2>/dev/null' 
returned status 256
  Parsing failed.

(sorry about the long line due to the URL)

When using bbp=1 the parsing goes like this:

  Retrieved ok.
  Parsed ok.


I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do about this, since from what I
can tell from the FAQ, REQUIREMENTS and general documentation, I have
the proper libraries installed. Although I have noticed a discrepancy
between the REQUIREMENTS document and the FAQ: the FAQ states that
netpbm2 package is required, and REQUIREMENTS states netpbm 9.15 or
later. Are 'netpbm2' and 'netpbm => 9.15' the same?

I have attached the configure output from when I ran the
'install-plucker' script in the 'unix' directory, which shows -- as far
as I am able to tell -- that the netpbm where found and will be used.

Any ideas on how I should proceed from here to get images with bbp > 1?

Regards,
