I have downloaded the pkgsrc from 1.4.3 to current from ftp.netbsd.org,
and built them. None of which work. I always get an error when I try to
run convert (I guess that some of the libraries are not linked properly).
I have not been able to find solution to this problem.

I have a powerbook running linux, and on it ImageMagick's convert works
fine. It is much faster than Netpbm at reducing images, but I have never
tried to convert the file formats that your are using.

Maybe you would know of a package that can resize an image to a standard
size (like netpbm), and is fast like ImageMagick's convert.

Thanks,
