Hi there,

i have just changed onto a server running debian and I am trying to install the latest version of imagemagick.
The problem is that when i try to configure it none of the image formats get supports..
Everything has the value no.

how do i fix this?

Thanks

Lee

Read config.log. It tells you why a particular image format did not validate. Most likely you are missing the development RPMS which include the require headers (e.g. jpeg.h).

Sorry, I don't know understand the contents of the file.
Its a very large file so I can't exactly copy paste.
Is there anything I should be looking out for?

i looked for png.h and I found this error in config.log

Code: Select all

configure:40153: checking for PNG
configure:40155: result:
configure:40169: checking png.h usability
configure:40186: gcc -std=gnu99 -c  -g -O2 -Wall -W -pthread  conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:212:17: error: png.h: No such file or directory
so obviously there is nothing there...
Got any links or instructions on how to fix that?

You need to install the PNG and PNG development package and then reconfigure ImageMagick. ImageMagick should then report that it has support for the PNG image format.
