netPBM creates thumbnails of 0 bytes.

[RobSpectre]

Hello,

I've read extensively through the FAQ and searched for answers to similar problems to no avail.

I recently installed netPBM 10.13 to use as an auto-thumbnailer as GD was just producing total shit.  I compiled it from the source code found at SourceForge onto a server running a Red Hat distro, kernel 2.4.18-grsec-1.9.4.

4images Gallery accepts the path that I provide as valid and when I go to create a thumbnail it delivers the following message:

Create thumbnail for: [title of image] ([name of file].jpg) ....  
   Thumbnail created!

However, the thumbnails appear as big red Xs and the file is 0 bytes in size.  

I have chmoded the netPBM files to 755 and as I compiled it physically on the server without an RPM, previous solutions to this problem do not seem applicable.

Can someone help me out?

Keep it real,

Rob

Nevermind... I solved the problem myself.

Woo!

Keep it real,

Rob, would you mind posting your solution as I am also having problems with NetPBM with 4images.

I know NetPBM is installed and configured correctly, as I am using it with another app.
