Movable Type 2.661 not finding Image::Magick:

[tippiedog]

I'm running Movable Type 2.661. When you upload an image via MT, you have the option of allowing MT to create a thumbnail of the image. In the past, this has worked for me. Today, when I tried it, MT complained: "Can't load Image::Magick"

What has changed? Do we have a new Perl version or something?

I've got a bad feeling that during the integration of Image::Magick into Perl 5.6.1, that it broke in the older Perl 5.005_03 version since a lot of this module are XS bindings...

Take a read through the following thread and switch your scripts to use Perl 5.6.1...

Finally - someone that will test Image::Magick module and is the only thing holding back the final cutover...

Terra,

Let me knwo if you need to know my account (in case you want to look at anything in my account, know what machine I'm on, etc.)

I changed the first line of all my cgi-bin/mt/mt*cgi files from #!/usr/bin/perl -w to #!/usr/bin/perl561 -w

Afterwards, I hit mt.cgi and I get the error: Got an error: Can't locate HTML/Template.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ./extlib ./lib ./extlib ./lib /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at lib/MT/App.pm line 300.

So, it looks like the HTML module isn't installed or it can't find it. Please advise.

[Terra]

HTML::Template has been installed into the Perl 5.6.1 module core...

Please give it another try...

Tried again. Now it's missing Image::Size

Thanks, Stan

[Terra]

Image::Size has been installed into the Perl 5.6.1 module core...

I also looked through the list at:
http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/docs/mtinstall.html#checking%20for%20perl%20modules

Please run your 'mt-check.cgi' program and let me know if all the required modules are installed now...

Thanks...

All is well now!

I'd forgotten about mt-check.cgi. I ran it and got:

"Your server has all of the required modules installed; you do not need to perform any additional module installations. Continue with the installation instructions."

I was also able to upload a photo and have MT create a thumbnail.

Terra, Thanks once again for the awesome service!

Regards, Stan

You are welcome, glad we got all that sorted out...
