non-Perl 5.10 binaries - where

[chrisw]

I am still using 6.1.x and am getting faults when writing indexed tif files. Seems like an old memory leak that may have been corrected in a later release.

However, I cannot use the latest version of IM because it requires Perl 5.10 and I cannot go there due to other incompatibilities. Does anyone know what was the last ImageMagick release on Perl 5.8 and where I could find a DLL binary version? I have not been able to find it anywhere.

thanks much

OK . I found a whole bunch of binaries at:
http://mhonarc.veidrodis.com/image_magick/binaries/

after trying out many of these binaries I found that
IM 6.3.8 seems to be the first release that supported/required perl 5.10

I am on Perl 5.8.4 and it appears that the last IM release that supported 5.8.4 was 6.3.3

Unfortunately for my project, IM 6.3.3 has problems creating indexed PNG files (but TIF works great)\
IM 6.1.9 works great with PNG files (but TIF has lots of problems)

So I can either piss off one set of customer or another or provide two installations! Maintenance nightmare!

If you have Visual C++ you can build ImageMagick yourself from source. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/advan ... lation.php.

I am using perl, v5.8.8 with the very latest ImageMagick release, 6.5.0-10 (compiled from source).
It works great
