Re: Need help with installing ImageMagick from PERLZ site

I see a good reason to put this stuff into its own directory inside

/QOpenSys

By that do you mean using the chroot functionality? Yes, using chroot has
many great advantages and I'd highly recommend it.

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

If you are using the chroot approach then you need to enter into the chroot
environment before you can run something (i.e. chroot /QOpenSys/mychrootenv
/usr/bin/sh -c 'some command')

then it is easily changed or replaced, right?

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
