I followed these instructions to get NETPBM working, but I messed up somewhere

Here is the mt-config:

ImageDriver NetPBM
NetPBMPath http://76.124.218.15:1226/cgi-bin/mt/netpbm

The NetPMB folder is in the cgi-bin\mt\forlder

IPC is in the mt/extlib folder
IPC is in the perl/site/lib folder
IPC is in the perl/lib folder

When I run perl –Iextlib –MIPC::Run –e 1
I get prototype mismatch errors

When I try to upload an image, I get no option to create a thumbnail.

What am I doing wrong?

To

my %Types = (jpg => 'jpeg', gif => 'gif', png => 'png');

Otherwise you will might get a "file not found: /users/home/etc/netpbm/topnm"

Then I installed 3.2 and.....well Net Pbm DOES NOT work in that either....!! So I tried first with MT s soluton (only IPC) broken pipe- I did your solution with new files and all an I get broken pipe12. I really have tried everything, checked that I didn't di any mistakes in mt.cfg or whatever, and uploaded fresh files again in binary mode etc etc. IS there anything else I could do? Does NOBODY really know what is wrong? In this? Hopeful u Arrghhh

I was able to install it successfully. Thanks for the tutorial!I do wonder though if there is a way to customize NetPBM so that it generates the thumbnail image code and then *inserts the code into the entry* so that you don't have to to click "show me the html."I know that clicking "create new entry" inserts the thumbnail image code into the entry, but lets say you want to upload multiple pictures into the same entry and you want the code for each thumbnail image you upload to be inserted into the entry.Is there a way to customize NetPBM do what i described above?A live example of this description would be in Typepad. When you insert an image in a post, the image code is inserted for you into the entry, and you can upload multiple images and Typepad continues to insert the image code for each image uploaded into the single entry.I would appreciate any pointers or resources to check out.Thanks!

It took some monkeying around but, I finally got the sucker installed right. I have two questions for you though:1.) Are there any features in netpbm that will allow the user to look at a preview of the thumbnail before they upload it, I'd think it would be ideal to get a preview function, cause as it is now, I am really guessing on the right percentages of my thumbnails.2.) Do you mind if I link to your downloads link to the netpbm zipped file, if you do would you mind if I uploaded the file to my own server and let them download it from there. Pretty much the situation is, I have just started messing around with MT and figured as I figured out certain things I'd post blog/tutorials on the very same blog I was working on. I'd give the link to this article if you wanted, I just wanted to get the ok, don't wanna step on anybody's toes. Thank you so so much.
