ImageMagick 6.4.7-6 Segmentation Fault, Memory Allocation

[jgeerdes]

Just installed ImageMagick 6.4.7-6 on my OS X 10.3.9 (PPC64) server. It's my first ImageMagick install, so I'm a little out of my league here. When I call convert from the command line, it seems to work fine for png and gif files; when I call it for jpg files, it fails with a segmentation fault. Further, the objective is actually to deploy this in a Perl application, but Image::Magick is throwing a memory allocation error for any file type. gdb says only that there are three outdated dylib files, and they will be ignored. And I could definitely be missing something there. I have been beating my head for a few days now; looking for any insights you might have. Thanks.

Although it should not fault-- its possible you did not include JPEG when you built ImageMagick. Type

• identify -list configure

Is JPEG associated with the DELEGATES tag? Did you try installing ImageMagick with the MacPorts? See http://globalmoxie.com/blog/imagemagick ... -osx.shtml.

Thank you very, very much for the prompt reply. According to identify -list configure, jpeg is indeed included in the list of DELEGATES. I did not install using MacPorts, but from source. I have copied the complete output from the identify command below:

Thank you for any further insight you might have.

Unfortunately we cannot reproduce your problem and don't have a clue why its failing. You could post a stack trace from gdb and that might help. Otherwise we recommend installing ImageMagick with MacPorts which should resolve your problem.
