How do I enable support for compressed GIFs in Imagemagick ? I have Imagemagick that came with RH73 that doesn't support GIFs,
Version: @(#)ImageMagick 5.4.3 03/05/02 Q:16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 2002 ImageMagick Studio LLC looking at IM's home page it says: --- Note that since Unisys claims a patent on the LZW algorithm (expiring world-wide as of June 2004) used by GIF, ImageMagick binary distributions do not include support for the LZW algorithm so GIF files are written uncompressed. Users are recommended to use the PNG or JPEG formats instead, and should consult the Unisys LZW web page before enabling LZW support. --- do I need to download IM source, and, find GD libaries with GIF supoort, and, compile, or, is there an easier path ? like, to retrofit gd/gif support to what I have ? I came across an aussie .com.au server (that right now I can't recall the name) that had the gd/gif files, except, I coulkdn't figure out what to do with them Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
