i rue the day that my server manager and i parted company... the start of a long journey....
sometimes i find myself daydreaming about the days when i could say... "this dont work, can u fix it?".... and 2 mins later it worked! i have a new way of "cursing" at ppls.... i just say "failed dependencies!"..... though very few actually get it... or understand the severity of the implied insult!
by starting this thread i hope to inspire any budding writers who are struggling to find subject matter... i will even give it a title.... "installing a new package on server".... or perhaps it would be better to be more specific... "installing ImageMagick on server"...
"budding writers" will soon find that "subject matter" will never be a problem again.... conversely, they will "struggle" to limit output to 50,000 words!
please feel free to laugh at this thread.... it is intended to be lighthearted, and hopefully bring some entertainment to all u smug, all-knowing unix gurus, but at the same time be useful to unix-dummies (like me), and answer some questions that maybe some ppls are scared to ask....
so here i am, poised at pc.... logged in as "root" (god forbid!), waiting for 1st reply....
the aim: to install a working "ImageMagick" package on linux server.
(i've been at this for about 2 months... without success
.... i have to admit... which mean i've visited a lot of places, and learnt a lot of stuff, however, for the purpose of this exercise i prefer to start at the beginning
)....
