convert: no decode delegate for this image format

Post by santoshkumar »

Hi,

I am trying to use convert function as

"convert imagemagick.tiff img.ps"
"convert Book_icon.png image.ps"
"convert Book_icon.png image.jpg"

and i am getting the following run time error for all the above as,

convert: no decode delegate for this image format `imagemagick.tiff' @ magick/constitute.c/ReadImage/526.
convert: missing an image filename `img.ps' @ wand/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2710.

convert: no decode delegate for this image format `Book_icon.png' @ magick/constitute.c/ReadImage/526.
convert: missing an image filename `image.ps' @ wand/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2710.

convert: no decode delegate for this image format `Book_icon.png' @ magick/constitute.c/ReadImage/526.
convert: missing an image filename `image.jpg' @ wand/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2710.

even when i use 'identify imagemagick.TIF' it says,
identify: no decode delegate for this image format `imagemagick.TIF' @ magick/constitute.c/ReadImage/526.

I am using the ImageMagick-6.4.5 version.

The output of the command 'identify -list configure' shows the following delegates,

DELEGATES bzlib freetype jpeg lcms png tiff xml zlib
LIBS -lMagickCore -llcms -ltiff -lfreetype -ljpeg -lbz2 -lz -lm -lpthread

Please let me know if any one know how to get out of this error. It will be a great help

Thanks.

You may need to install the ghostscript library and then recompile IM

Hi,

I have fixed the issue. The "*.la" (i.e tiff.la, magick.la etc) files were not in the correct path.

Thanks.
