Is it possible to install and use FreeImage and ImageScience on my local Windows XP machine as well as my remote Linux Rails host? I''d love to use a more efficient solution than RMagick but I''m a little mystified at the instructions for getting started with ImageScience. I see that there''s a DLL which can be downloaded for Windows use, but where would I put that? Would I be better off going with minimagick if this is above my head at the moment?

I haven''t tried ImageScience yet, but it is possible to use ImageMagick without RMagick. MiniMagick is one option but if you only need simple operations, you can do it directly in your code. See http://atomgiant.com/2007/01/22/dead-simple-image-processing-with-imagemagick/ as a starting point and ImageMagick commands documentation for further possibilities... -- bobes On Feb 26, 7:36 am, Jeff Coleman <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Is it possible to install and use FreeImage and ImageScience on my local > Windows XP machine as well as my remote Linux Rails host? > > I''d love to use a more efficient solution than RMagick but I''m a little > mystified at the instructions for getting started with ImageScience.

Thanks bobes, I''ll consider that option! In the meantime, does anybody know anything about installing ImageScience to use it locally on Windows and remotely on Linux?

I am trying to get FreeImage working on my machine, and I''ve got the RubyInline attempting to compile whatever C code ImageScience throws at it, but I get compilation errors during that process. Any info. would be appreciated.
