Went through G1.x installation a few weeks ago. Abit tiring. a few days work and it was clinking basically + quirks.

Just started the G2a4 install yesterday. Looks beutifull. Thanks.

The ten steps were easy enough, the ui was simple to use (only bit I found a bit more confusing than the other steps is the DB setup [the way it's worded]), but solved pretty easy.

Logged into the gallery admin as instructed to config the graphics module.

CVS'd netpbm source code, made it, packaged it.

chmod 755 on all files in /home/<username>/netpbm/bin/.

Tested and got failed on all the files listed.

Tried playing around with chmod 777 on the dir tree leading up to /bin/...to no avail.

I've checked the forums/faq's/doc's and similar problems are addressed but haven't found any suggestion relevant.

Thanks for the help.

sounds like you're trying all the right things.. turn on buffered debug output in config.php and retry the Test Settings.. see if it shows you any error messages when it tries to run the netpbm commands.

Thanks for your response.

Tried changing config.php. removed * from one line. and added * to another. then gallery's main.php gives a list of errors and doesn't give you the option to admin at all.

It's getting late, more tomorrow. thanks.

Ok. put the Netpbm problem aside for a sec, and cvs's Imagemagick.

Then when trying to ./configure, There's an error displayed the autoconf 2.59 or higher is needed.

2.57 appears to be installed on this system.

SO,

I cvs'd autoconf 2.59. installed fine in my own user directories, binaries seem to work.

When ./configure is run it looks through the path for autoconf and still reports the same problem.

Currently using Bash. I'd imagine that i'd need to change one of the .bashrc type files.

How do I change the path variable (which I assume is the variable in question), so It includes my <user>/bin directory, and has presedence over the default system dirs /local/bin etc.

Thanks in advance.

ok, you're kinda moving beyond asking for help with G2 now...
but try
export PATH=<user>/bin:$PATH

Exactly why are you using CVS of every thing? What is wrong with a few binary packages that work and don't need to be compiled?
