    Depending on what version of Debian/Ubuntu you are using there, the version of pngquant that it installs may be really old, and EWWW will not work with anything below 2.0.
    Run ‘pngquant -V’ to see what you have. If it IS higher than 2.0, please turn on debugging, and post your debug information from the settings page.

    Ah yes, Debian Wheezy has an ancient version of pngquant (version 1 from April 2002). I’d like to suggest EWWW throws a warning that it is an old version rather than missing. I’ll go build pngquant from source now.

    All built, for those who may stumble upon it

    apt-get install build-essential liblcms2-dev
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/pornel/pngquant/tarball/master
tar -xf master
cd pornel*
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
