Hi,

I'm new to ImageMagick and I've been trying to install it on CentOS via the ./configure , make procedure. But during make I always get
I don't know if i'm doing anything wrong. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't know much about Linux or CentOS, I am on a Mac. But this works for me.

install the png (and any other delegate libraries) first, then recompile IM.

see

but you might want to search the web for more current versions

Hi fmw42,

Thanks for directing me to the delegates. I've fixed the problem but I wasn't entirely sure where I hit it. Here's what I did.

• 1. removed libpng-devel
  2. installed libpng-devel
  3. downloaded and extracted ImageMagick zip file into a folder
  4. ran ./configure --without-png
  (i did this just to test if the error i received during make was indeed from the png library)
  5. ran make
  (this time there were no errors)
  6. ran ./configure
  (this time with options / parameters)
  7. ran make
  (again, the errors on the png were gone)
  8. ran make install

Imagemagick installed successully afterwhich, I installed imagick for php after and checked phpinfo(). Imagick is installed and ImageMagick supported formats now include PNG.

I guess the problem lied with the libpng-devel. It may have been a faulty installation.

Thanks!
