Installing Perl::Magick
I'm not quite ready to give up on this yet. Below is a screen grab of my attempt(s) to install Perl::Magick. As I have said previously, I am a complete Linux newbie - so what's happening here is lost on me (as yet). Image::Magick is installed. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Re: Installing Perl::Magick
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 Am Dienstag den, 19. Februar 2002, um 13:03, schrieb lamp: I'm not quite ready to give up on this yet.

Re: Installing Perl::Magick
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. I'm not quite ready to give up on this yet. Below is a screen grab of my attempt(s) to install Perl::Magick. As I have said previously, I am a complete Linux newbie - so what's happening here is lost on me (as yet). Image::Magick is installed.

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.

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/.

lamp See below. Cheers Ron Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://savage.net.au/index.html Magick.xs:76:24: magick/api.h: No such file or directory 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: http://www.imagemagick.org/www/magick-list.html
Re: Installing Perl::Magick
Aaron See below. Cheers Ron Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://savage.net.au/index.html There is a package available in ppm for ActiveState Perl. There is a short write up on it PerlMonks http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=140321 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.
