As far as I understand, the 1st says that w3mimgpreview is not working
(regardless of ranger). To confirm, try this too: if you do
`w3m http://www.google.com' on the command line, do you see inline images
in the resulting page? (You probably do not.)
The 2nd suggests a solution: try changing the library’s permission to
something suitable. My permissions:
address@hidden:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/w3m/w3mimgdisplay
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root video 26560 May 22 2012 /usr/lib/w3m/w3mimgdisplay
Note that `s' is *critical*; and I am in the `video' group. (Users not
in the `video' group on my system cannot use w3mimgpreview.)

You can surely get it to work if you persevere!
