Thanx.

I was not actually asking for same. There is a package for V 5.4.3.2 here:
http://www.dylanbeattie.net/magick/downloads.html

I'm supplying this URI just for completeness.

This means you must, repeat must, have the ImageMagick source code on tap to compile 
PerlMagick. Being lazy, I wait for someone to
create an ActiveState ppm file...

As someone else mentioned, there are ImageMagick mailing lists:

Sorry, I did not meant giving silly comments ;-) I just saw your email 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] so I thought you would usually work as root.

isp-linux?  See http://isp-lists.isp-planet.com/isp-linux/ for mailing list
subscription.  The ImageMagick mailing list, magick-users is also problably
a good resource for your problem.
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=subscribe   Both lists
are what I consider medium volume.

You may also want to check for a list related to your Linux distro.  A good
place to find archives of hundreds of mailing lists which have a nice search
interface is http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/.

Marcel, I was working as root after an "su" as I couldn't install
Image::Magick under my own account.

As far as security goes - I /think/ I have configured my box with only
the www and ssh services available, everything else is locked down (he
says, hopefully).

Thank you.  So far I'm enjoying Linux tremendously.  It's really
challenging, but fun and intellectually stimulating.  I only wish I'd

Your question isn't a modperl question.  Please keep that in mind when
posting to this list.  Maybe you're trying to use Perl::Magick as part
of a project that uses modperl, but that doesn't make this a modperl
issue.

Immediately above is the problem.  The file "magick/api.h" isn't installed.
You may have Imagemagick installed, but you don't have the development
files associated with it installed.

Most package-based Linux distributions, like RedHat (or RedHat/RPM based
systems) or Debian (or Debian/DEB based systems) "split up" a whole package
into parts.  You probably don't have the "FOO-dev" or "libFOO" package
that goes along with FOO.

I use Debian... here's what I have that pertains to your query re:
ImageMagick...

rdice@tanru:~$ export COLUMNS=120 && dpkg --list | grep -i image
ii  imagemagick  5.4.2.3-1Image manipulation programs.
ii  libmagick++5 5.4.2.3-1The object-oriented C++ API to 
the ImageMagick library
ii  libmagick++5-dev 5.4.2.3-1The object-oriented C++ API to 
the ImageMagick library.--develop
ii  libmagick5   5.4.2.3-1Image manipulation library (free 
version).

(The above list edited to remove matches that don't have anything to do with
ImageMagick.)

Maybe you use a RPM-based system... check out http://rpmfind.net/ in order
to track down which package contains the file you need.

Cheers,
Richard

Re: Installing Perl::Magick

2002-02-19 Thread Marcel Weber

Hi

I don't know anything about your problem. I just wanted to give you a 
hint, as you said, that you were a complete linux newbie:

Do not work as root. It is dangerous! The root account should be for 
installation, configuration of the system and where it cannot be 
avoided. I always have some regular user account for working on my 
servers and as soon that I want to change something I do a "su". The 
best is even to disable root logins on the console and especially via 
ssh / telnet. It gives you some extra security as everyone knows, that 
there must be a root account on a unix box.

Best regards and enjoy linux!

Marcel
