Re: Need help with installing ImageMagick from PERLZ site

Just answering one of my own thoughts - reading README.MD and I see a good reason to put this stuff into its own directory inside /QOpenSys - then it is easily changed or replaced, right?

I assume - which we all know has its outcomes - that I can just extend the path to the new location in a QP2SHELL call and it should still just work, just isolated as to backups and recovery - cool, if that's right!!

Thanks Justin!!

My basic need right now is to convert PNG files to another format, as I described below. And I need to be able to do this using QP2SHELL or QP2SHELL2.

Between you and Aaron I'll maybe make almost a useful PASE guy.

I will not be developing anything in PASE - just need to get something installed for use in production. So although I played around with bash 20 years ago, when first playing with Debian on my home machine, I don't need all its bells & whistles, I don't think.

If there were something other than ImageMagick that would run more outside of PASE, that'd be fine - I wondered about a Java solution - I've seen examples using the Java libraries, but I'd probably have to write something and am not prepared to learn enough for that right now - nor is my boss!!

So I'll proceed - I assume again that running the stuff in ibmichroot requires elevated authority in order to install stuff?

Thanks again
Vern
