I have been trying to run the UploadImages Recipe from Mike C.'s  
Advanced Rails Recipes book. I have installed both ImageScience and  
FreeImage on my Ubuntu 7.10 box. When I run the program and try to  
upload an image, I get a strange error which appears as follows:

Note that I am really trying to get Insoshi up and running and I get  
exactly the same error so I am pretty sure that the problem is in my  
installation of ImageScience and FreeImage but I do not know how to  
troubleshoot it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have managed to get around this problem by installing ImageMagick and  
RMagick combination. So not an attachment\_fu problem afterall. Does  
anyone have decent installation instructions for ImageScience and  
FreeImage on Ubuntu 7.10?  
I installed FreeImage from source and am not sure what went wrong where.
