I got exactly the same error. [...] > On mine, I am using Debian Unstable with netpbm 9.20 and a complete > image worked for me.

For what it's worth, here is what I did to get it working: I got netpbm-9.20-2.src.rpm for RawHide 1.0 from rpmfind.net. I then built netpbm-9.20-2.i386.rpm, netpbm-progs-9.20-2.i386.rpm, and netpbm-devel-9.20-2.i386.rpm with the command: rpm --rebuild netpbm-9.20-2.src.i386.rpm. I installed all three of these rpms, but they did not include the map files, so I got the latest netpbm source code from netpbm.sourceforge.net, extracted the map files, and copied them to /usr/lib. Finally, I edited my ~/.pluckerrc and changed the map section as follows: ;; ;; Name (and maybe path) for the color maps used by ;; ppmquant: ;; palm1bit_graymap_file = /usr/lib/palmgray1.map palm2bit_graymap_file = /usr/lib/palmgray2.map palm4bit_graymap_file = /usr/lib/palmgray4.map palm8bit_stdcolormap_file = /usr/lib/palmcolor8.map Thanks for the help, Jason -- Jason Day jasonday at http://jasonday.home.att.net worldnet dot att dot net "Of course I'm paranoid, everyone is trying to kill me." -- Weyoun-6, Star Trek: Deep Space 9
