bb002 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I would like to use the WebCollage xscreensaver but it complains about being unable to find ppmmake in the $PATH variable. I searched the computer and couldn't locate it. I haven't been able to find a package on the mandrake cd to install it. Anyone know where I can find a prebuilt package for mandrake? I'm too much of a noob to compile it myself. [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 The WebCollage screensaver is part of the xscreensaver rpm package. Install that. To finf files in rpms use: http://rpm.pbone.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb002 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Apparently I wasn't very clear because I fail to see how looking for a ppmmake rpm package falls into art and design but it not my decision so I'll go with it. I have webcollage installed because it comes with the xscreensaver rpm package like you said. My problem is that I cannot use it since I do not have the software application "ppmmake" which it complains about requiring before it will run. Even once I get that application into a runable binary form i must get in to the $PATH variable. I wanted a RPM package to handle all the details since I'm a noob. Although I'm willing to learn how, it is still a bit over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iZm Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 you need the netpbm package. I don't use Mandrake, but came across your question on my own searches, so I don't know exactly what the Mandrake package would be called. I suspect that a search for netpbm will find it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
