Looks like I am going to attempt switch to Strawberry Perl I think that's a step in a better direction. However, it's not a panacea, and you might still face some challenges in getting Image::Magick installed. Strawberry Perl does not provide the prerequisite C libraries for Image::Magick, so you'll still need to source those and then make them accessible to the Image::Magick build process if you want to build Image::Magick yourself. Of course, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, Strawberry Perl does ship with a PPM utility, so you could still "ppm install" Image::Magick from the sisyphusion.tk repo if need be (and thereby avoid the need to track down that "prerequisite C library").

Waah waah waah :D `$ ppm install Gtk3 Gtk3 Installing package 'Gtk3'... Error installing package 'Gtk3': Error reading http://www.sisyphusion. +tk/ppm/x86/Gtk3-516.tar.gz Installing package 'Gtk3'... Error installing package 'Gtk3': Could not locate a PPD file for packa +ge Gtk3` [download] This went ok but it made no improvements to `install Gtk3` timing out slowly at different points `ppm install Crypt-SSLeay Net-SSLeay Mozilla::CA IO::Socket::SSL` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`$ ppm install Gtk3 Gtk3` Does it make any difference if you instead run `ppm install Gtk3` Are you running this in a bash shell ? I've never used ppm in anything other than the cmd.exe shell, but I'm not sure, off the top of my head, whether that should matter. Also, what does `perl -V` output ? I downloaded http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/x86/Gtk3-516.tar.gz and it unpacked fine for me. Also grabbed http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/Gtk3.ppd which seems ok, too. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

ActiveState does not ship with a c compiler or build tools, you need to install them yourself or via `ppm MinGW`, which brings us back to the whole ppm issue. Save yourself a lot of time and potential headache, just install Strawberry, which does ship with a sane development environment of of the box.	[reply] [d/l]
