RMagick PNG issue

Hello all,
I have a small routine to upload images from a browser and save them
on the server utilising RMagick (v1.15.3). Things are working well as
long as the image format is JPG, if I try using a PNG image it barfs
with a NoMethoError for the resize_to_fit! method.

The error is:
You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.resize_to_fit!

Here’s a snippet of the code
strimg = Base64.encode64(picture.read)
img = Magick::Image::read_inline(strimg).first
img.resize_to_fit! 640, 480

Any ideas?


Cheers,

Are you sure the underlying ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick was built with
libpng?
