Re^4: Shrink Images and PDFs

"Sorry, I meant that the Perl module comes with installing ImageMagick itself if you do it from source."

This is not true. As documented a default install does not build Image::Magick. You can see problems just by looking at the test matrix and open bugs. See also Cannot compile Image::Magick.

You can see problems just by looking at the test matrix IIRC (it's been a long time), installing it from CPAN never really worked well (or at all?); I remember the Perl module would get built when one complied ImageMagick from source. But even then, finnicky business I think. In any case, Imager is a nice alternative ("Nicholas Clark - How Geizhals took out ImageMagick before ImageMagick took us out"), and I haven't tried GraphicsMagick.	[reply]

Well, thanks for the heads up. It's been a while since I installed IM so I might have been pretty baffled if I did it again now. `$ ./configure --with-modules --enable-shared --with-perl` [download] Ah well there you go.	[reply] [d/l]
