Topic: style sheets problem

I checked album_test.pl, and it now says:

Checking to see if ImageMagick is installed: which convert...
PASS: Set imagemagick=/usr/local/bin in album.cfg to use ImageMagick.

Try using that setting, I bet it'll work... (That's the normal install path for convert anyway...)

thanks but new problem

Image Magick Error: /usr/local/bin/convert: No decode delegate for this image format

IM website says something about  binaries being bad...

How did you install ImageMagick? Were you logged in as root? Did you compile it or just copy around binaries?

Seems like it might not be installed correctly...

[autostream]

reintalled as root and same problem

i did a 'configure' and it says configure up to date
then..
make install

now..
in ssh, configure states that jpeg=no
I dont no if that matters and your instructions dont say how to change it...?

[Mike Bobbitt]

Try these instead:

./configure
make clean
make
make install

If jpeg=no there's probably some library that ImageMagick needs but doesn't have. My instructions won't cover that since it's strictly an IM issue, but there may be something in their documentation.

(As you can see, my docs barely cover the high points of album.pl, let alone any "sister" tools... )

[autostream]

as you can see your prog relies heavily on this 'sister' program and you dont provide enough tech support for people on FreeBSD

I dumped yours and went with Gallery.com.
They have better knowledge of imagemagick and helped me out in 2 hours to fix the same problem.
I am more than happy now.

BTW, if any other freebsd people have a problem perhaps you should add this into your installation files and give me credit for it

 The default install of ImageMagick on FreeBSD doesn't seem to compile with some important image support (e.g. JPEG), so you must explicitly tell it to. There are two ways of doing this.

Compile ImageMagick using this command: cd /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick/ && make -DWITH_JPEG -DWITH_TIFF -DWITH_PNG install clean

(this way will require 200mb of freespace to just to install, then it cleans up)

***OR**
Add the following lines to /etc/make.conf:

           WITH_JPEG=yes
           WITH_TIFF=yes
           WITH_PNG=yes
         
Then uninstall ImageMagick via ports (make deinstall clean) and reinstall it (make install clean)

Autostream,

Not sure what you're expecting here man... I *give* away the program, and provide support in my spare time. I have already spent a great deal of time helping you along, and stated early on that ImageMagick support should be sought from their own system.

I make no apologies if my completely free "best effort" support wasn't up to your standard, nor do I gain or lose anything if you use Gallery over album.pl. I make my program available in the hopes that some people can find it useful, though I don't expect it will be the answer for everyone.

I do appreciate you taking the time to post the note to help future users, and hope Gallery works well for you.

Cheers
