Caught exception: Wand contains no images `MagickWand-1'

[shar10dul]

hi,
I am running a ubuntu machice and have installed php, ImageMagick, pecl-imagick on my machice as per the instructions.

But just the use of the line:

Code: Select all

    $im = new Imagick("example.jpeg");

throws the error

Caught exception: Wand contains no images `MagickWand-1'

Subsequent refreshes result in error message changing to MagickWand-2', MagickWand-3' and so on

I looked all around on web but couldn't find a solution.
