I installed gem-plugin-magick, but I still can't load PNG.

thanks claude, I installed it by "sudo apt-get install gem-plugin-magick", but it still can't load PNG. Pd says same as before: only "Image loading support: SGI jpeg". how to solve it?

on ubuntu 14.04 linux, [pix_image] handles only JPEG files. No PNG, No
others. How to load PNG or TIFF files? when I make [pix_image], Pd says

FYI, on Mac OS X, it handles PNG files, but on linux doesn't. Why
linux can't do that?

Linux can do that, don't worry.  GEM uses a plugin system for image loaders/savers - probably GEM is distributed with them split out into multiple packages. Try:

$ aptitude search gem-plugin-

which lists many available to my Debian system, not all of which I have installed.  I think gem-plugin-magick should be enough to load PNG and other common formats.
