Looking at the instructions on installing image magick on windows, I saw this: NOTE: As of ImageMagick 5.4.8, the official ImageMagick windows installer includes PerlMagick for ActivePerl. Hence I will no longer be providing new binaries of PerlMagick from this site. The official distribution is available from http://www.imagemagick.org/www/windows.html (PerlMagick == the Image::Magick module) "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"

The easiest way is to follow the instructions from the website - http://www.imagemagick.org/www/perl.html. You will need to use microsoft's nmake as your make utility - http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe	[reply]

I dowloaded the latest full PPM package and followed the instructions given in 'http://www.dylanbeattie.net/magick/howto.html' site. But when I tried to install it by `C:\temp>ppm install Image-Magick.ppd` [download] I got an error saying `Error: no suitable installation target found for package Image-Magick.` [download] What do I do now?

Do you not understand the error message? What is inside Image-Magick.ppd	[reply]

Two suggestions 1st) Take a look at the PPM-Repository package it will allow you to add almost every repository out there, well depending on your version of PPM ( there is a bug that the Author hasn't fixed yet to auto add them ), then search again. 2nd) I would google it and search for the .ppd this should turn up sites that have the ppm for you to install from.

I believe that I have every major PPM repository added, and a search of them all doesn't turn up a PPM for I::M. Update: That is, not for 5.8.x. It appears to be available for 5.6.x.

PerlMagick exe has only ppd for 5.8.x	[reply]
