If you are using a recent version of netpbm then you can follow
the instructions below and start using the new tool in netpbm
instead of the old (and obsolete) ppmtoTbmp tool.

It's not called ppmtoTbmp any longer. The new and improved
version is called pnmtopalm and if I'm not mistaken it
was included for the first time in netpbm-9.10, i.e.
the version included in RH7 doesn't include that tool.

Compile and install that version and then do the following,
1. Add the map files to the [POSIX] section in your .pluckerrc
file.
palm1bit_graymap_file = /usr/local/netpbm/lib/palmgray1.map
palm2bit_graymap_file = /usr/local/netpbm/lib/palmgray2.map
palm4bit_graymap_file = /usr/local/netpbm/lib/palmgray4.map
palm8bit_stdcolormap_file = /usr/local/netpbm/lib/palmcolor8.map
Change the path to wherever you installed netpbm.
2. Specify that you want to use the new netpbm image parser
in the [DEFAULT] section.
image_parser=netpbm2
Now the parser should use the new netpbm image parser when it
converts images.
This stuff should be taken care of automagically in the future
when you setup/install Plucker.

Nope.
