If you develop on OSX and want to try out image_science, things just got even easier:
% sudo port selfupdate
% sudo port install freeimage
% sudo gem install image_science
I welcome any and all help on the linux side to get freeimage packaged up in their various packaging systems. It'll make it easier to get freeimage accepted on various ISPs/ASPs.
FreeBSD already has a port. It is a bit old but I think it should actually be compatible.
Hi. I've been trying to install imagescience on OSX and have gotten hung up installing freeimage via MacPorts. I get the same c compiler errors as this guy: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=9993&groupid=1513&atid=5921
Do you have any idea what we need to do to get freeimage installed?
Thanks for your time.
Hmm. For some reason the link I posted got mangled. Suffice it to say that when MacPorts is trying to build freeimage the compiler isn't finding the right headers. Here's another attempt to post the link to the issue:

Ah, the culprit was an outdated Apple Developer Tools installation. Sorry to have cluttered up your post.
