Running gutsy, I get a libppm.so.9 not found error when trying to run the Display program, downloaded and installed from the packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca site. What am I missing?

Gi jrabsher,

Please download it from here http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/admin/ppm.

If you are running Ubuntu, it is strongly suggested to use a package manager like aptitude or synaptic to download and install packages, instead of doing so manually via this website.

You should be able to use any of the listed mirrors by adding a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main universe

Replacing fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu with the mirror in question.

OK, I tried it and must be doing something wrong. I'm a newbie, so please forgive me. Here's what I did.
I've tried a couple different mirrors, too. Do I need to build all the depends first, one by one, as listed on the site, or will apt-get automatically download and install the depends when it installs ppm? Also, I don't see libppm.so.9 listed in the details of the file contents when I download the tar.gz file and unzip it. Should I be able to see it listed within the files contents?

John

The file libppm.so.9 is contained in the package libnetpbm9. To install the file, you run the command:

$ sudo apt-get install libnetpbm9
