Normally I'm a cpan purist, but for Image::Magick, I tend to use my OS installer. If I recall correctly, the Image::Magick perl library and the libmagick have to match exactly and the libmagick installer tries to install it (correctly) for you. I might be thinking of something else. But even if I am, I still try to use my OS perl module installer so everything works without all the effort.

What platform are we talking about here? I'm talking about ubuntu/gentoo/etc...

UPDATE: I imagine redhat has a package for both libmajick and for Image::Magick. I'd start there.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
