This cannot be the full solution, for it removes the
use of $PNMCROPOPT from  the 2nd and 3rd lines above,
where it is needed with some versions of  pnmcrop .

The issue, as I understand it, is one of installing correctly.
The value of $PNMCROPOPT needs to be set at installation time,
according to the version of  pnmcrop  which is available.

For the latest versions (9.12+), one needs: $PNMCROPOPT = ' -sides ';
some earlier versions (9.x --> 9.11)  need: $PNMCROPOPT = ' -black ';
and really old versions need: $PNMCROPOPT = ''.

Which version of pnmcrop do you have ?   (do:  pnmcrop --version )

Would you please do a command such as:  grep PNMCROP pstoimg 
so I can track what is going wrong with the
installation code at your site.

Also, can you please show me the error that results without your
modifications.

Yes indeed; but I need more information to track the
cause of the problem.
