HOWTO

# netpbm
# ======
# There are two versions of netpbm in this howto.  The 'advanced' version
# and the 'super-stable' version.  Prior to version 10.35, the 'latest'
# version was available by tarball, but 'advanced' is now only available
# from the Subversion repository.

# Slackware 11.0: netpbm 10.18.12
# Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2: netbmp 10.35.22

# Prerequisites:
# zlib (for pnmtopng and pngtopnm)
# libtiff (for pnmtotiff, tifftopnm, pnmtotiffcmyk)
# libjpeg (for ppmtojpeg, jpegtopnm, ppmtompeg)
# libpng (for pnmtopng and pngtopnm)
# ghostscript (for pstopnm)
# svgalib (for ppmsvgalib)
# Perl (if you use installnetpbm)

# After you're done with this, you might want to replace the included
# pnmtopng/pngtopnm with this other version:
# http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/apps/pnmtopng.html

# To view the docs, run 'manweb netpbm' after installation or go to
# http://netpbm.sf.net/doc/

# If you previously installed netpbm under /usr/local, which is what this
# howto used to do, and you'd rather put it under /usr/local/netpbm, which
# is what this howto does now, compile the new version and when you have the
# new one built under /tmp/netpbm, use that as a guide of what to remove
# under /usr/local.  I used to have the commands required to remove everything
# listed here, but there are hundreds of utils and they change too often for
# me to keep the list here any longer.

### If yours doesn't do that, either add those settings to /etc/profile
### directly, or add something like this to the bottom of your /etc/profile

## Append any additional sh scripts found in /etc/profile.d/:
#for file in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
#  if [ -x $file ]; then
#    . $file
#  fi
#done

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/netpbm/bin
