Hi, Sounds like you are compiling ImageMagick without any image libraries.

LIBPNG[^] LIBJPEG[^] LibTIFF[^] Many others... Then recompile with: ./configure --with-png=yes --with-jpeg=yes --with-tiff=yes It can be alot of work... you might be better off downloading a precompiled binary: Install from Binary Distribution @ ImageMagick[^] Best Wishes, -David Delaune

Hi Thanks for reply. Yes we tried the Silverlight tree, but results are not encouraging. We are only loading few hundred records and most of them are at first noode. It is still taking un-acceptable amount of time. Regards Rajeev
