[Phpwm] installing pnmscale / netpbm

[Phil Beynon]

  Hi,
  I'm  using cjpeg and djpeg and pnmscale to rescale images through a php
upload script.

  I haven't got pnmscale on my server. I've read around a bit and found that
i need to install netpbm. How do i install this on red hat? Also which
directory do I install it to?

  I use apt-get install on my laptop at home which works a treat. Is there
something similar for red hat?

  Also is there a better way of automatically rescaling images whilst
maintaing quality and aspect ratios? GD Library?
  Thanks in advance,
  Sukh

  I normally use ImageMagick - its free and works very well. You can specify
if aspect rations are preserved or not.

  Regards,
