I've downloaded the NetPBM library and uploaded by FTP these files to a directory on my server. I've specified the path in the setup pages.

But I got the error: "Error: I can't find NetPBM at the location you provided."

I've read the following in the manual:
"You don't need to be root to install it on your system; you can just put these files in your home directory."

What does it exactly mean? Didn't I do that, I've just put them in my home directory...

I'm confused. There is absolutely no support for installing the NetPBM libraries on Apache.

Are you sure you uploaded the BINARY files and not the Source Files?

Create a 'bin' directory inside your homedir, like /home/user/bin
then dump all -binary- (precompiled) files into that folder.
Then edit the gallery config.php file to point to your new bin
directory. That should resolve any issues.
