convert: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `delegates.xml'

Post by pion »

Hi,
I am currently installing a script that is using ImageMagick's convert, on multiple computers. The script is using brew to install the latest version of ImageMagic. While trying to install it on a couple of computers this week, I've started getting the error: convert: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `delegates.xml'. I've tried multiple solutions posted online, but nothing worked until I realized that the version of ImageMagick had changed to 6.8.9-1 but the script was still working on computers with the last week's installed scripts. After manually downloading the 6.8.8-9 version from git and installing it, the script had started working again.
Here is the command I am running:
convert 1ImageName 2ImageName -compose difference -composite -colorspace Gray difference_gray.gif

Here is the setup of the systems:
Version: ImageMagick 6.8.8-9 Q16 x86_64 2014-05-11 http://www.imagemagick.org

ImageMagick is unable to read its configuration files. Perhaps you have a permissions problem. Type
  • convert -debug configure logo: null:
The debugging output tells you where ImageMagick expects to find the delegates.xml configuration file.

Judging by the output above, I don't see any issues since all the .xml files on our computers are located under /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.9-1/etc/ImageMagick-6/

Here is the list of files under the above mention directory:
  • coder.xml
    colors.xml
    delegates.xml
    log.xml
    magic.xml
    mime.xml
    policy.xml
    quantization-table.xml
    thresholds.xml
    type-dejavu.xml
    type-ghostscript.xml
    type-windows.xml
    type.xml
Hope this helps
