How to install tiff delegate while using IM binary

Post by Rasmi Teja »

Hi,

I have installed IM from binary on my solaris unix machine.
It doesnot support tiff file format images.
I need to install tiff delegate.

Can u please help me how to install tiff delegate.Is there any version comaptibility between IM and tiff delegate.

I heard we need to re install IM.Do we need to reinstall IM after installing tiff delegate. How can we reinstall IM which is binary.

If this is not possible guide me with alternate solution in detail as i am new to IM.

Thanks in advance

Install the TIFF delegate library on your system. Now download the ImageMagick source and unpack. Next run the configure script:
  • cd ImageMagick 6.6.7-6
    ./configure
Look at the last 50 or so lines of the output and ensure ImageMagick detected the TIFF delegate library:
  • TIFF --with-tiff=yes yes
If it does not say 'yes', look at config.log to determine why the TIFF library failed to validate and fix the problem. Once TIFF is validated, type
  • make
    make install
and ImageMagick now supports the TIFF image format on your system.
