problem with ImageMagick 6.8.6-6 (no delegates found)

[agl2013]

I am having a weird problem with the latest ImageMagick (6.8.6-6) on OS X, that I installed via MacPorts. Namely, I can't convert any images because no delegates are found. Indeed, here's the output of identify --list format:

Code: Select all

tillina:~ artemio$ identify -list format
 Format  Module    Mode  Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* native blob support
r read support
w write support
+ support for multiple images

As you can see, absolutely no delegates are found! However, identify --version does report the usual assortment of delegates:

tillina:~ artemio$ identify --version
Version: ImageMagick 6.8.6-6 2013-08-17 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2013 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: DPC Modules
Delegates: bzlib fftw fontconfig freetype gslib jng jpeg lcms lzma png ps tiff x xml zlib

And so does convert -list configure:

tillina:~ artemio$ convert -list configure

I uninstalled, cleared and reinstalled ImageMagick from scratch, but it didn't change anything. Does anybody have any idea as to what could the problem be, or how to fix it?

Thanks a lot,

Might you have multiple versions of IM installed? What do yo get from

port installed

where is IM installed? might you have it in two locations?

check

/opt/local/lib
and
/opt/lib


Do you get the same result using

convert -list format

[agl2013]

Thanks a lot for your answer. As you suspected, I did have an old version of IM installed in /usr/local. I completely erased this old version, uninstalled MacPort's ImageMagick, and reinstalled it, but the problem still persists, i.e., both convert -list format and identify -list format report that no delegates are found. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks again,

Artemio

Where is your version of IM located now?

What do you get from

convert -version

or from

path2IM/convert -version

once you know where IM resides.

try

type -a convert

and see where it thinks you have IM installed.


Check our path to see that it has been modified to know where IM resides

echo $PATH


Were there any error messages when you installed IM from MacPorts regarding installing the needed delegates (dependencies).


Note from Macports that you need to uninstall all the dependencies first. (You may have corrupt dependencies). See http://guide.macports.org/#using.port.uninstall

"If a port is a dependency of another installed port, uninstall will not remove it unless you remove the dependent port(s) first. To override this behavior, use the -f (force) switch. This will obviously break the dependents. Don't force uninstall ports unless you know what you are doing."


See what ports IM needs via

port deps imagemagick

are they all there?

port installed

will list them all

Did you selfupdate? see http://guide.macports.org/#using.port.selfupdate

1. My version of IM was installed by MacPorts, so it is at /opt/local/bin. As I said in my previous message, I have made sure that no other versions are installed, i.e.:

Code: Select all

tillina:~ artemio$ type -a convert
convert is /opt/local/bin/convert

2. convert -version produces the following output:

Code: Select all

Version: ImageMagick 6.8.6-6 2013-08-30 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2013 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: DPC Modules
Delegates: bzlib fftw fontconfig freetype gslib jng jpeg lcms lzma png ps tiff x xml zlib

3. My path is also OK:

Code: Select all

tillina:~ artemio$ echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:~/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/texlive/current/bin/x86_64-darwin

4. As far as I know, IM didn't give any error messages when it was installed. For instance:

Code: Select all

:info:configure checking for JPEG... 
:info:configure checking jconfig.h usability... yes
:info:configure checking jconfig.h presence... yes
:info:configure checking for jconfig.h... yes
:info:configure checking jerror.h usability... yes
:info:configure checking jerror.h presence... yes
:info:configure checking for jerror.h... yes
:info:configure checking jmorecfg.h usability... yes
:info:configure checking jmorecfg.h presence... yes
:info:configure checking for jmorecfg.h... yes
:info:configure checking jpeglib.h usability... yes
:info:configure checking jpeglib.h presence... yes
:info:configure checking for jpeglib.h... yes
:info:configure checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... yes
:info:configure checking for JPEG library is version 6b or later... yes
:info:configure checking if JPEG package is complete... yes

5. Following your suggestions, I proceeded to uninstall all dependencies of IM and ImageMagick itself (this can be easily done in MacPorts) and then I reinstalled IM and its dependencies (this is done automatically by MacPorts when you require IM to be installed), but the problem still persisted.

6. I checked IM's dependencies (via port -deps ImageMagick) and verified that the packages reported were actually installed (via port installed).

7. Finally, I've executed port self update repeatedly, again to no avail.

To summarize my problem, convert -version shows that IM recognizes several delegates, and identify -list configure also shows that IM was built requiring those delegates. However, both convert -list format and identify -list format don't show any delegates, and in fact convert fails to process any file due to its inability to find any delegates. It is as if IM somehow looks for the delegates in the wrong place. Is there a way to find out where is IM looking for its delegates?

Thanks a lot,

Artemio
