MagickWand then libMagickCore

Post by an3k »

Im using Debian Lenny (installed yesterday, thus server is up-to-date).

i installed Apache2, MySQL and ImageMagick though aptitude but compiled php5 myself (fastcgi).

I used the latest version of imagick but then MagickWand-config was missing (and no package there), i used then the older version in which its included and this problem was solved.

Now i have the problem that lMagickCore cannot be found.

I use imagick as self-compiled extension for php5.

Chances are you have a way-old version of ImageMagick. Check all the ImageMagick packages and make sure you install the development package. It will install all the recommended dependencies. Next download the ImageMagick source from ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagi ... 1-0.tar.gz and type
  • tar xvfz ImageMagick-6.5.1-0.tar.gz
    cd ImageMagick-6.5.1-0
    ./configure
    make
    make install
You now have the required MagickWand-config script you need to build iMagick.

Thanks for the reply.

I compiled ImageMagick6.5.1.0 + php5.2.9 + imagick2.2.2 myself and installed ImageMagick systemwide (no prefix) but php into /home/php. Except one simple bug (had to export a path) everything works as inteded :)
