Hi, I'm new to ImageMagick and I obtained ImageMagick from the FTP site. Commands magick and identity appear to work just fine but the display command gives me the following error:

Code: Select all

display: delegate library support not built-in '' (X11) @ error/display.c/DisplayImageCommand/1900

I'm not sure what to do about this. Is the display command necessary for the functionality of ImageMagick?

What do you get from

Code: Select all

magick -version

Did you

Code: Select all

export DISPLAY=:0

as mentioned at https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php#macosx along with the other instructions.

Add that to your .profile or .bash_profile.

Does it work then?

Hello..

Here's the version info

Code: Select all

$ magick -version
Version: ImageMagick 7.0.8-9 Q16 x86_64 2018-08-04 https://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: © 1999-2018 ImageMagick Studio LLC
License: https://www.imagemagick.org/script/license.php
Features: Cipher DPC HDRI 
Delegates (built-in): bzlib freetype jng jpeg lcms png raw tiff webp xml zlib

Yes I did set the DISPLAY variable.

Code: Select all

$ echo $DISPLAY
:0

Yep I looked at those instructions and set the variables as indicated:

Code: Select all

export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/Downloads/ImageMagick-7.0.8"
export PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib/"
export DISPLAY=:0

Did it look like I missed something?

Did you install Xcode Tools?

Did you launch XQuartz before you did your display. It has to be started. ImageMagick display will not automatically start it.

[BlueWave95]

Did you install Xcode Tools?

Yes.

Code: Select all

$ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Did you launch XQuartz before you did your display. It has to be started. ImageMagick display will not automatically start it.

Yep it's running.

I've tried running the display command from within the XQuart xterm window and the error persists.

You should launch XQuartz, but still issue your commands in the normal Mac Terminal Window, which should be a bash window.

ugh.. I gave up with the binary package for mac, it just doesn't appear to be compiled correctly for osx.

I instead downloaded the source and compiled it myself. I read the Install-mac.txt file to download some of the delegates first.

I did a configure, make clean, make, make install, switched to my install folder, setup my environment variables.. and (phew!) display finally worked. Magick and identify commands appear to work ok as well. Hopefully I won't run into any other issues later.

FYI. The configure command I used:

Code: Select all

./configure CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include' LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib'   --enable-delegate-build --enable-shared --disable-static   --with-modules --with-quantum-depth=16 --enable-hdri --with-gslib   --disable-silent-rules --disable-dependency-tracking --with-rsvg --with-gs-font-dir=/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/ --with-x --prefix=${HOME}/bin/ImageMagick7.0.8-65

Thank you fmw42 for your input in trying to help me get this running!

You said your version was OSX 10.14 Mojave. But the only version of ImageMagick binary for Mac on the Binary page at https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php#macosx says:

ImageMagick-x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0.tar.gz download download macOS High Sierra

So that may be your issues.


The way I do it is to install all my delegated from MacPorts and then install manually from source. Here is a post I made a while back, but I used the same method with a different compiler for my current Sierra version and I expect with the proper compiler will also work for current versions of Mac OSX. https://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-s ... rts#p88202
