Hi Blake or anyone, I am trying to get ImageMagic to work on
Fedroa 3. Here is the problem.
Any suggestions of where I can download an RPM
that works? I have 6,300 files and 60 meg in my lib directory :)

What I am looking for is a tiff or jpg to PDF converter
that will accept half a dozen images and convert them to
one pdf file. Windows XP or Fedora 3. Matters not.

Paul,
I'm pretty certain that libgs is the GhostScript library, so you were on
the right track with that last download attempt. Try:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/sourceforge/e/ep/epsonepl/ghostscript-8.00-
2ht.i386.html


Assuming that installs ok, then try ImageMagick from:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/updates/3/i386/ImageMagick-6.2.2.0-2
.fc3.i386.html

I suggest you use rpmfind.net to find RPMs that you need.

Thanks Russell. I'll give it a try.
