Install on Fedora Core 6 : dependencies problem

[theredled]

Hello all

I hope i'm in the right section

I've installed ImageMagick command-line program on Windows, it seemed to work well, made good work. Now I want to install it on a Linux Fedora Core 6 OS, but I have some problems.

Installed by "rpm -Uvh", as explained in the doc, the program says that some dependencies are missing. So I try the same with "Yum install", but he put me an error.

What should i do just to wake it work ?

Thanks

with RPM "rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-6.3.5-3.i386.rpm":

-bash-3.1# rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-6.3.5-3.i386.rpm

I know nothing about Linux but I have installed it on a Linux machine with Fedora 6 ( may have been 7 ? ) and this is all I did :

Download and run the latest binary release for linux from here. http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... s.php#unix
Extract the rpm file to a folder on your PC.
Run the config file in folder from step 2 ( you need to be connected to the internet as some files may need to be downloaded )
Confirm it is working by running in the terminal: convert -version
Run your code like this in the terminal : convert full_path_to_input.jpg -thumbnail 100x100 full_path_to_output.jpg

It worked straight away for me.

Typically the dependancys are not nessary. they are optional, not required.
IM will just fail with an error is you use a image format with such a dependancy.

I install IM using...
sudo rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps ~/dl/ImageMagick-*.i386.rpm

For that very reason.
NOTE I do install the IM from the YUM archives, so all the normal dependancys are satisified, then update that with my own RPM version I built from the SRPM or the SVN download. That is the IM I use was actually built on the system I use it on.

PS; RSVG librarys are usedful, as this IM can use these better SVG handling library than its built in version.
