I am trying to install XOOPS gallery the first time and am pulling my hair out for selecting which netpbm file should I use. I tried almost every one of them to unavail.

here is what check netpbm reports on my operating system:

Linux hearts.securenet-server.net 2.6.8-1.521smp #1 SMP Mon Aug 16 09:25:06 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I tried the two linux zip files and the bsd versions and none of them seems working.

Help.

I also had some work to do in my first attempt.

This was my solution, hope it works for you

download
netpbm1.1-gallery1.0-linux2.2-redhat6.2-intel.tgz
from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7130

Upload the NetPBM dir/files via FTP client (in binary mode) and CHMOD the directory and all the files in that directory with the following permissions: 755.

i'm pretty sure the reason for this is because you are probably using V10 or higher of Netpbm.

xoops_gallery doesn't function right with netpbm v10 for some strange reason.

i would suggest trying to find netpbm v9..
