Failed installation

[mikrjd]

I have just tried to install ImageMagick to my server. After #make install there were 3 errors so I ran #make check and the output included :

fail: tests/validate-format-on-disk.sh
fail: tests/validate-format-in-memory.sh

2 of 47 tests failed

Is this serious and what do I do to correct it?

regards,
Mike

Post a few lines around the 2 tests that fail in tests/validate-format-on-disk.log. That will tell use which tests failed and we might be able to tell why they failed. Thanks.

The validation program requires Ghostscript. ImageMagick can work fine without Ghostscript but it is generally recommended to assist ImageMagick in rendering Postscript, PDF, and some fonts.

Do I need to install Ghostscript? If so where do I install it and before or after installing ImageMagick?

Thanks for any assistance.

Ghostscript is optional. If you want to render PDF or Postscript download and install it. You do not need to rebuild / reinstall ImageMagick after you install Ghostscript.
