Re: PerlMagick,ImageMagick on Windows 2000 with Active State Perl

[zengargoyle]

it sounds like ImageMagick wasn't built with TIFF support. did you compile it yourself or did it come from a binary package?

did you install the whole ImageMagick package with it's programs or just the libraries so you could use the perl module? if you have the programs check them.

$ identify housing.tif
housing.tif TIFF 900x1300+0+0 PseudoClass 256c 8-bit 2.2m 0.090u 0:01

$ convert housing.tif housing.gif
$ identify housing.gif 
housing.gif GIF 900x1300+0+0 PseudoClass 256c 8-bit 486.9k 0.140u 0:01

if those don't work it's likely that your ImageMagick is missing TIFF and you need to find or build ImageMagick (and likely a libtiff) to get TIFF support.

ImageMagick seems to be running with all the required imgae libraries just fine....

$convert nettie.tif nettie.gif

Works fine from the command line....The error I get is when I am using Perl and the Image::Magick module....my feeling is that this has to do with PerlMagick....the way Perl is communicating with ImageMagick....Any ideas?

BTY ActiveState claims to provide an option to install Image::Magick at the installation of Perl if ImageMagic is already installed....I haven't seen this occur....not sure why not....
