Wrong version of IM in Mac Binary

Post by fmw42 »

The current Mac binary page at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... php#macosx implies that the version should be 6.9.2 as per
export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-6.9.2"
However, when the file is downloaded and installed,

Code: Select all

convert -version 
says it is 6.9.1.3 and not 6.9.2.4

Also there are only 3 delegates that show up and these do not include, JPG, PNG or TIFF.

I was under the impression that the binaries included the majority of the needed delegates.

Also there is an error in the command

Code: Select all

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib/
It is missing the ending double quote.

I will fix the quote issue.

(I was helping a friend to install IM on a Mac. As a work around, I resorted to installing MacPorts and installed IM from there)

The report is accurate. The "darwin" executable only gets updated on rare occasions. The current update is
indeed version 6.9.1-3, created on May 17, 2015.
