Hello !

After successfully installing G2, I try to configure some grafix toolkits like NetPBM...
BUT it gives me error as NetPBM binary test results.
It says ALL tests are failed for following binaries:

    giftopnm
    ppmtogif
    jpegtopnm
    pnmtojpeg
    pngtopnm
    pnmtopng
    tifftopnm
    pnmtotiff
    bmptopnm
    ppmtobmp
    pnmcomp

And it gives Error messages as File does not exist for following binaries:

    pnmtojpeg
    tifftopnm
    pnmtotiff
    bmptopnm
    ppmtobmp
    pnmcomp

As I dont have root access to my web-server,I installed NetPBM binaries (netpbm1.1-gallery1.0-linux2.2-redhat6.2-intel.tgz) from G2's SF.net site.
Is anything special I have to consider after extracting it? (I already chmoded all files to 755)

If u want my debug information, i'll attach it in next post...

regards,
Chinmay

you should use the following netpbm for your server:
from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7130&package_id=14464
the file:
netpbm_gallery-1.4-pl2-linux-intel.zip

when copying it to your server, e.g. to /home/hsphere/bin/netpbm/
chmod all files to 755 and chmod the directory where they are in also to 755, in this example, chmod /home/hsphere/bin/netpbm/ to 755.
Then enter the path /home/hsphere/bin/netpbm/ in the G2 netpbm config and test again.
Not all tests will pass, but 3/4 or something. And that is ok.

Thanx valiant...

It passes all tests except two (ppmtobmp and bmptopnm, file does not exist)..

Is there any source to download these (ppmtobmp and bmptopnm) binaries for my server...

Now playing with Imagemagick... Will u pls suggest me, which binary file should I download to run on my server ? Currently i have ImageMagick-i686-pc-cygwin.tar.gz

Anyway, Im also downloaded ur fresh beta 3 release of G2... and sonn upgrading to it..

Thanx...

Regards,

@netpbm: that's ok, as i said. and no, i don't know a source for the other binaries.
@imagemagick: from the listed binary packages, the cygwin is the one that matches your servers setup the best. if it doesn't work, either forget about imagemagick, find another webpage with precompiled imagemagick downloads or compile it yourself...

btw: using this sms/chat lingo "u pls",... isn't as cool as one might think. ;) "you" and "your" are a lot more readable than "u" and "ur".

cygwin binary package didnt help me.. all tests are failed by saying "Problem executing binary"... (though I chmoded bin/files to 755)

If I want to compile myself the imagemagick binaries, which source file is best suitable for my server ?

btw, G2b3 is GR8 !!(no other word is suitable) ... thanx for such a strong efforts....
I guarantee YOu, final release will change de whole world of image-galleries...
I hope YOur team will also bring the final release of G2 which can be easily integrated with other CMS (like postnuke :) )...
Any idea when will be the final G2 release ?
