Well, you can try to get the rpm versions of redhat, the one that is close to SME 6.0 beta 3. I did that with SME 5.6, I downloaded from redhat 7.3 the rpm required!!, you can try with redhat 8.0 or 9.0..

Luck!!

Hi Manuel

Thx for the reply.

* Actually the rpm that "almost" installs _is_ from RedHat 8 Distro...
(look at the version numbers I gave above)

* RedHat 9 versions for netpbm (and especially netpbm-progs) have/had lot's of unmatched dependencies....
(As I said above: I did quite a lot of hunting (or about 12 versions each in combinations .-))

Dan has it working under 6.0 b3 so I'll just have a look at what combi works - ltr...

ANYBODY got ___ImageMagick___ to work in 6.0 b3???
(pls post the rpm filename ... so that I can try and hunt it)
From the description this seems to be the better manipulation app !

Regards
Reinhold

You just have to unpack to a directory, and then set the path to that directory in the gallery setup

I'm now using Imagemagick and used these RPM's:

ImageMagick-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm
ImageMagick-Magick++-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm
ImageMagick-perl-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm

I'm still using SME 5.6, but try them anyway since 6.0 is still RH 7.3.

Thanks again for all your patience.
Guess I'm close to giving up here ...

# rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libICE.so.6   is needed by ImageMagick-5.4.9-1
        libSM.so.6   is needed by ImageMagick-5.4.9-1
        libX11.so.6   is needed by ImageMagick-5.4.9-1
        libXext.so.6   is needed by ImageMagick-5.4.9-1
        libXt.so.6   is needed by ImageMagick-5.4.9-1
        libdps.so.1   is needed by ImageMagick-5.4.9-1
        libdpstk.so.1   is needed by ImageMagick-5.4.9-1

...seems quite close to the dependency problems I had before.
OR is this "X11" and "dp.."  stuff only needed for a graphical setup ???
...  and how can I safely circumvent and ignore it ???
HOW COME you do get this installed on an older machine ?
(do you have a development (i.e. compile) environment installed ?)

Too early to give up yet

I did a search on google on your dependencies, and i think it wants XFree86.
Try these:

XFree86-libs-4.2.0-8.i386.rpm
XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-8.i386.rpm
XFree86-font-utils-4.2.0-8.i386.rpm

I don't know if you need them all

No, but i have the PDF printer installed and Hylafax, and i think the RPM's from there helps.

Give it another try...

Hi Per

 Thanks again for all your patience ... still holds
>> Guess I'm close to giving up here ...
>Too early to give up yet
Nah ... I was close ... but as long as you support me

FIRST: I do have Gallery working under 6.0b3 !
HOORAY! HOW?
- went: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7130
- grabbed: netpbm1.1-gallery1.0-linux2.2-redhat6.2-intel.tgz
...and put this *.tgz into a fresh mkdir /opt/netpbm  
- went to that dir, unzipped, untar'ed
- cd /opt/netpbm
- unzip *
- tar -xf *.tar
...and JUST AS YOU SAID :
USE: the Gallery Setup to point to /opt/netpbm where it is needed.
Obviously the netpbm will not be available systemwide but "who cares" .-)

So what I'm doing right now is inserting those pics a friend wants.-)

Since you confimed my guess, Per, that the needed stuff is from X-Windows,
I have serious doubts whether I'll need ImageMagik .-) - I rather give your pdf printer etc. "an installation try", then go for ImageMagik again!

BTW: Dan ... the contribs directories are still too confusing for me (note: I am with SME for all of a week now .-). Didn't find the right mirror yet .-) ...but will keep looking.

Thanks again guys ...  Gallery is great!!!

FYI, for anyone who needs this... I finally got ImageMagick installed -- currently on SME 6.0b3 +updates. These are the rpm's I used:

     |  --> ImageMagick-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm
     |  --> ImageMagick-Magick++-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm
     |  --> ImageMagick-perl-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm
     |  --> XFree86-libs-4.2.1-13.73.3.i386.rpm
     |  --> libtiff-3.5.7-2.i386.rpm

#rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Then test with:
#convert -version

Hope this helps someone else...
