netpbm... how do I install it?

a graphics converter

[animgirl]

Hello,

I've installed a gallery and was told that I needed a graphics converter called netpbm. I've looked at doumentation and they seem to assume you know how to "install" it.

I downloaded the lastest version and it's no .exe. It's called a "17" file. I have no clues.

Does anyone out there have this and how did you install it?

Thank you so much,

Anybody?

Did you read the instructions at:

netpbm.sourceforge.net/

? - it's a tarball, you need to build it - but I get the impression you're not a *nix user - what exactly do you need to do that requires it?

Oops - should have scrolled the page - people have done some Windows ports - check the links and see which one you like.

Hi there,
I suppose you are writing about the gallery downloadable at soundforge.

Try using ImageMagick instead, if not, download the netbpm binaries from the gallery homepage unzip to a folder, upload to your server and specify the path to the folder where you uploaded netbpm when configuring Gallery.

Make sure you choose the right OS for your installation.

Hope that helps.

Hey,

I've downloaded the binaries (afaik) it's hard to tell exactly what I'm downloading on that site. The thing I don't get is, I unzipped it, and it's one long filename called netpbm1.1-gallery1.0-linux2.2-redhat6.

Did I take a wrong turn? I was quite sure I downloaded the binaries file. There's no readme either.

That is a *nix elf binary, it will only work if your server is running some form of unix / linux / BSD, and possibly only with the RedHat distribution of linux judging by the filename. You need a PE binary (.exe) to run on a windows server.

Sorry I didn't specify, I am running Linux.

I do have Linux, and I think I downloaded the right file. I don't know where to put it though :P
