There have been some minor changes (speed optimizations actually) to the image querying algorithm from the desktop version to the server version but results should be really similar. Can you please send me by email some sample images and queries?

@Daniel:

This problem seems to be affecting Fedora Linux only. Unfortunately I have been unable to reproduce it. Can you try renaming _imgdb.so into imgdb.so?

Please ignore .pyd files, they are the Windows version of .so modules.

Years ago PIL offered a complicated (and hard to compile against) low-level C-API for doing raw image pixel reading. I’ll see how things are today.

fedora 3
python 2.5.1
ImageMagick 6.2.2.0-2

BTW, any chance of dropping imagemagick and using PIL instead?

fedora 3
python 2.5.1
ImageMagick 6.2.2.0-2

Just checked out the code from svn and:

cd isk-daemon
cd src
python isk-daemon.py

root : ERROR Warning: Unable to load the C++ extension “imgdb.so(pyd)” module.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Also:

cd imgSeekLib

And:

_imgdb.pyd: MS-DOS executable (EXE), OS/2 or MS Windows

???

I’ve corrected #2. Regarding #1 is seems like a wordpress bug/weird behavior. I’ll try to fix that.

1) you’re still missing a . in your tar filenames:
isk-daemon-05-trialtar.gz should be isk-daemon-05-trial.tar.gz, otherwise bash tab completion function will not add the filename as argument to tar command

2)”python isk-daemon” should be ” python isk-daemon.py”
