Installing imagick

[mkoppanen]

You're lacking the ImageMagick development package. In debian based distros it's something like libmagick9-dev.

For the past 3 hours or so I have been trying to install imagick.

I attempted to build PHP 5.2.5 with the latest imagick 2.1.1 from the PECL site using Visual C++ 2005 Express on Windows XP Professional and ran into a few issues myself. I was eventually able to build a working php_imagick.dll and posted the procedure I used on ApacheLounge.com if any Windows users are having problems.

If you guys see something I'm missing here, please let me know. I tested the resulting .dll on both Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000 Server setup running Apache 2.2.8, PHP 5.2.5, MySQL 5.0.51a and ImageMagick 6.3.7 with imagick 2.1.1 dll. So far it seems to work on both systems.
