Problem with convert running as non-root

Post by tencheese »

I have successfully installed ImageMagick-6.3.8-8 but I have a problem when I try to use it as a non-root:

Code: Select all

$ convert -size 100x150 -background lightblue -fill blue -font Times-Roman -pointsize 72 label:Anthony foo.jpeg
convert: unable to open image `label:Anthony': No such file or directory.
convert: missing an image filename `foo.jpeg'.
Running the exact same command as root works perfectly.

What am I doing wrong?

Check your permissions. For example, is /usr/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.8 readable by the world?

I used

Code: Select all

chmod -R o+rx /usr/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.8
and the problem is resolved, thank you for your help.
