I am fairly adept at installing modules on these types of configurations (for instance, installing Parsoid on MediaWiki), but for some reason I can't get Gallery3 to find Ghostscript on my server. I have installed the program via unpacking it as well as the executable file. Could someone direct me to a tutorial or explain to me how to make Gallery3 find GhostScript? Thank you. P.S. I put it in the bin folder... E:\bitnami2\gallery-3.0.9-3\apps\gallery\htdocs\bin |

Isn't it more of a server issue than a Gallery issue?
Have you tested getting other apps/sw to interact with GS?
Most of the docs I've seen on GS deal with various command line structures and whatnot. I'm thinking that you would write a script and call it from Gallery, as needed (or embed the script in Gallery code somewhere). If that's the case, how you call the script and how the script invokes GS would depend on your server setup, no?
I've never really dealt with GS directly, so I'm mostly just thinking out loud here.
Feel free to quietly ignore if I'm totally off base.

Ghostscript is not installed on all Linux systems. To use Ghostscript without fully installing it, download a pre-compiled version (http://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html). Then, rename the binary file to "gs" and put it in Gallery's "bin" directory (e.g. "/gallery3/bin"), where Gallery will auto-detect it.
MMM windows is not officially supported.
