adding JPEG support under OSX?

Hi,

I am running OSX 10.5 and I have ImageMagick installed. Problem is, I did not install the JPEG delegate. Is it true that I must uninstall & reinstall ImageMagick with JPEG support? Is there any way to add the JPEG delegate without reinstalling?

btw, right now I'm getting an error raised:

Code: Select all

 no decode delegate for this image format '/path/to/some.jpg'
THANK YOU,
truchty

You must reconfigure / rebuild / reinstall ImageMagick to add support for JPEG.

Thanks magick,

I followed your advice and installed imagemagick from macports today. It went fine. Now, when I run convert -list configure I see JPEG listed. Also, when I run convert -list format I see JPEG. PERFECT! However, I'm using RMagick, and I still get this error when I try to do a resize:

Code: Select all

no decode delegate for this image format `/path/to/mccain.jpg'
I am now assuming that RMagick has the path to my "old" imagemagick installation, which was not compiled with support for JPEGs. How can I fix this?

Thanks again for your help, hopefully someone here will have an answer
