Hi There,

I'm trying to implement a captcha, but am having a few issues with the installation,

from usr/local (following to osx instructions on hivelogic:

However - when I run the first line: curl -O http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.1.10.tar.gz

I get error message: curl: (23) Failed writing body

when i put 'sudo' in front, nothing seems to happen.

ANy ideas?

Or - has anyone successfully done this on Ruby on rails?

If so - which site is the best (and easiest) to get it up and running?

thanks

Don't know what that error means (man page should tell you i would think), but you can always just download it manually and keep going...

This is what I used long ago when I set it up (based on hivelogic and some other stuff). Start reading at the "freetype" section and stop after ImageMagick is installed...
