Installation question re convert

Hi,

My Linux box (Fedora 8) has no X11 environment installed as its a server. Is there a way for me to install just 'convert' without having to install all of ImageMagick and its pre reqs?

Thanks in advance... :)

The simple solution is to build and install ImageMagick then remove whatever binaries you are not interested in. For example:
  • /bin/rm /usr/local/bin/display

Thanks for the pointer...I had a go at copying across the /usr/lib files one by one as convert requested them, but soon got bored with that!

Chose to install the full package via yum and remove unrequired components as you suggested.

Thanks

Simmo.
