Unable to upgrade Imagemagick in REDHAT Linux RHEL5.10

Post by wsi.support »

We are trying to upgrade the below softwares in our Server:
- image magick : 6.2.8
- ghost script: 8.70
It has to be upgraded to the latest version
OS - REDHAT Linux RHEL 5.10 version

ImageMagick rpm is dependent on libwebp package. This package is not supported in Redhat environment.

$ sudo rpm -ivh ImageMagick-6.8.9-6.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libwebp.so.4()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.8.9-6.x86_64
sudo rpm -ivh libwebp-0.3.1-3.fc20.x86_64.rpm
warning: libwebp-0.3.1-3.fc20.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 246110c1
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit) is needed by libwebp-0.3.1-3.fc20.x86_64

Try building from source. First install the development version of ImageMagick so it will download all the required delegate libraries. On our systems we use:
  • yum install ImageMagick-devel libtool-ltdl-devel
Now build from source:
You'll find ImageMagick installed in the /usr/local folder.
