Hello all,

I am having problems installing the most current version of ImageMagick. Any help is greatly appreciated.

==========
Environment
CENTOS Enterprise 4.5 x86_64
Apache/1.3.39
PHP Version: 5.2.4
==========

Attempting to install via yum or up2date installs fine, but retrieves an old version which is incompatible with Imagick-2.0.1, so I am attempting to install the rpm/binary release (ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64.rpm) downloaded from the ImageMagick website. When I do so, I get the following list of missing dependencies:

libHalf.so.6()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64
libIex.so.6()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64
libIlmImf.so.6()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64
libIlmThread.so.6()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64
libImath.so.6()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64
libgs.so.8()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64
libgvc.so.4()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64
libjasper.so.1()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64
liblcms.so.1()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64
libpng12.so.0(PNG12_0)(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64
rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.x86_64

Of these dependencies, I think only libpng12.so.0 actually exists on the server.

I'm fairly familiar with *nix, but not in the installation process, mainly webserver.
I have root access.

My questions are:
1. Is there a way to force yum to grab the current version
2. How do I get these dependencies?

Thanks

Try building from the source RPM (srpm). That will build to your environment.

Thanks for the quick response, magick.

I downloaded ImageMagick-6.3.7-6.tar.gz, unzipped and received the following when attempting to configure and make install:

====================
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so when searching for -lX11
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a when searching for -lX11
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [magick/libMagick.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/temp/ImageMagick-6.3.7'
make: *** [install] Error 2
=====================

/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so is a link to libX11.so.6.2

Try this:

• ./configure --without-x
  make

That got it. Thanks again for your help magick.
