That's interesting...I don't have a .pluckerrc file or a man page to help me. I'm not sure which file Slackware is using to map the images...there are no palmgray* files on my pc.

        Do you have netpbm installed?

I didn't install this right, I'd imagine...but it's all I could do. Slackware is not made to be an RPM Linux distro, although it does have the RPM program. I got the rpm working with:

rpm -ivh --nodeps plucker-1.8.rpm

This is why its important to install the right package for the right distribution. Your use of --nodeps above stopped the rpm from barking about the missing dependencies (which you *DO* need to install and satisfy). One of these is probably netpbm, which ships with those .map files. Without netpbm, you won't get very useful output.

I then got a python error, but it does parse...just not in color. How could I install the python tarball?

One does not "install" a tarball, one installs _from_ a tarball ;) I'm sure there's a .tgz for Slackware kicking around though. Just make sure you have all of the requirements met first.
