ImageMagick as user install

It seems like on Tue, Dec 05, 2000 at 06:40:42PM -0700, Armin Hartinger scribbled:
Orig Msg> Hi List,
Orig Msg> 
Orig Msg> Ok, here's the challenge:
Orig Msg> 
Orig Msg> I'm sitting on a mountain of images and daily there are more coming. Now
Orig Msg> I need to take all of them and transform them to different sizes, the
Orig Msg> smallest will be transparent GIFs. I'd like the write both shell as well
Orig Msg> as PHP scripts to manually process those.
Orig Msg> 
Orig Msg> I think the ImageMagick library of tools will do the job best. It's at
Orig Msg> http://www.simplesystems.org/ImageMagick/
Orig Msg> 
Orig Msg> Now my problem. I neither manage to compile it properly (I think it only
Orig Msg> compiles right as root, which I don't have. At home, as root on my local
Orig Msg> box I got it to work fine) nor do the binaries (686-linux) work for me.
Orig Msg> It's complaining that it can't find the proper .so libraries, while I
Orig Msg> have added both the bin and lib directories where the binaries and .so
Orig Msg> files reside to my environment variables.
Orig Msg> 
Orig Msg> Can somebody try to get it to work as a user and point my towards the
Orig Msg> "right way" ?
Orig Msg> 
Orig Msg> I can't install it as root as I don't have that kind of access and the
Orig Msg> Unix-admins are "too busy" and backlogged for weeks. So my request won't
Orig Msg> happen anytime soon.
Orig Msg> 
Orig Msg> Please help.

You may want to reevaluate your requirements and take a look at the
NETPBM package.
It is designed to work in shell scripts and can do allmost anything
