How to get jpeg support in Imager?

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to use imager, but I get the error that jpegs are not supported.
ModPerl::Registry: format 'jpeg' not supported at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CGI/Carp.pm

I have been looking but can not find how to install this. I am new to linux so a little lost.

Any Help?

Oh and this is the code.

my $img = Imager->new();

$img->read(file=>"$config{'basepath'}pictures/$filename") or die $img-
+>errstr();

$img = $img->scale(xpixels=>$config{'imgmax'},ypixels=>$config{'imgmax
+'},type=>'min');

$img->write(file=>"$config{'basepath'}thumbs/$filename", jpegquality=>
+25) or die $img->errstr;

I think your Imager module got installed without some of the desired (but not required) libraries installed first. I would advise you to check out what library you're missing, but I'm virtually sure it's the IJG (Independent JPEG Group)'s widely used "JPEG Source". I guess the workflow is: Uninstall Imager, install JPEGSRC, install Imager. You might be missing more libraries, check those out first, too. I can see there's a list of external libraries in the README file. And indeed, it uses the IJG's library.	[reply]

I set up a Debian server last month and had to apt-get libjpeg62-dev to satisfy this dependency. MB	[reply]

As the above posts say, it's almost certainly that you don't have libjpeg installed. How did you install Imager? Taking a quick glance at the Makefile, it looks like it shouldn't have let you install it w/o libjpeg installed. Obligatory TMTOWTDI: Image::Magick is a popular package for manipulating with images (it also will need libjpeg i believe).	[reply]
