Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I've tried to compile ImageMagick on Debian Etch. However all convert-operations fail with the message "NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat" and "identify -list format" returns only *native blob support.

This is the configure-output that I compiled with.

Options used to compile and link:
PREFIX = /usr/local
EXEC-PREFIX = /usr/local
VERSION = 6.3.7
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall -W -pthread
MAGICK_CFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall -W -pthread
CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include
PCFLAGS =
DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
LDFLAGS = -lfreetype -lz
MAGICK_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib -lfreetype -lz
LIBS = -lMagick -ltiff -lfreetype -ljpeg -lXext -lX11 -lz -lm -lpthread
CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -pthread

By default, ImageMagick requires you install it into the system path, typically /usr/local. If you do not want to install into a system path, add --disabled-installed to your configure command script and set the ImageMagick environment variable MAGICK_HOME. Type

• convert -debug configure logo: logo.miff

and the output will tell you where ImageMagick expects to find its required configuration files.

Thanks for the answer! However, I don't understand it fully.

My current installation is in /usr/bin and it works fine. It's installed thru apt-get but it's a couple of years old and i fancy some of the later improvements.

I ran "convert -debug configure logo: logo.miff" and manually copied the /config -folder from my compile folder to one of the destinations it looked in, but the behavior sustained.

This it the "make install"-log. Doesn't seem right, does it?
