Hello,

I need to run modules from the netpbm package and have d/l and installed
version 10.11.4 and libnetpbm 1.0.0 on SLES9, using yast.

There seems to be a problem with the pnmflip module and I am hopeful this
is fixed in the later releases such as 10.26 or 10.32.

I *could* compile 10.26 or 10.32 from source (having first removed the
10.11.4 version from SuSE) but am a bit reluctant to do this for fear of
"breakage" - if I can stay within the halls of SuSE so much the better.

I would value advice in regards to whether other versions of the netpbm
package are available - and if so, where? - as well as the general rules
regarding installation of "foreign" versions of otherwise elderly
SuSE-supplied/supported software.

Kind regards,
Denis
