Ok to make a long story short. I was using the latest g2 release on my website. I decided to upgrade my os to the latest version of slackware which broke most everything because I had to reinstall netpbm and some other things. I have a intact copy of my g2data directory, when I try to install gallery2 and use my existing g2data directory the core install errors out because the directorys are already there.
Can I just install a fresh copy of g2 and copy my albums back into it?
Whats my best course of action here?

if the g2data dir and database are intact then the installer should work.. if you're using a new db but old g2data it won't work.. try a new install and use add-from-local-server to load the images from the old g2data/albums dir.

Ok I reinstalled using my original g2data and database, heres where I run into the original problem. Netpbm is install but it does not show active under the modules, when I try and activate it I get this error.

It's always polite to reference the fix so that others reading the post know what you did
My guess is that you deactivated all of your graphics toolkits, then reactivated them all. Was that it?
