Greetings, I am setting up a CentOS+BlueQuartz server, replacing my Cobalt machine. On my Cobalt I had installed a set of pre-made binary's for netpbm. Using "yum search", I found and installed "netpbm.i386" but I am at a loss as to how to use the resulting libraries from my php scripts etc.? Do I need to install the netpbm-progs.i386 and netpbm-devel.i386 also?? - Bill (Linux dumb but learning!) --------------------------------- William J.A. Brillinger Precision Design Co.

> Do I need to install the netpbm-progs.i386 and netpbm-devel.i386 also??netpbm is the libraries - needed by everything (compiled programs, etc) netpbm-progs is the command line utilities netpbm-devel are the header files, etc needed to compile programs using the netpbm libraries. Depending on whether you are using C/C++ programs (need the -devel to compile) or bash scripts (use the commandline utils, thus need -progs) you'll want to have one or the other (or both...)
