convert: unrecognized image colorspace `RGB'.

[samyboy]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert an image but I'm getting an error.

Code: Select all

$ convert image.gif -colorspace RGB image.jpg
convert: unrecognized image colorspace `RGB'.
$ /usr/bin/convert -list type
convert: unrecognized list type `type'.

Whatever colorpsace i chosse (RGB, CMYK) the problem persists.

IM has been installed from an RPM:
$ rpm -q ImageMagick
ImageMagick-6.4.3.6-5.3

The OS is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (i586).

Is this behaviour normal? Am I forgetting something?
Thank you.

Sam

Do you need the colorspace ?

I would try something simple first to prove the installtion is working e.g.:

Code: Select all

convert image.gif image.jpg

Is this the first thing you have tried so the installation may not have worked ?

Try something like:

Code: Select all

convert -version

Hi Bonzo, Thank you for your answer.

Do you need the colorspace ?

I don't know. I'm willing to use ImageMagick through the TYPO3 CMS.

I would try something simple first to prove the installtion is working e.g.:

Code: Select all

convert image.gif image.jpg

Works great!

Is this the first thing you have tried so the installation may not have worked ?

I don't quite understand this question. However I did not install this package (root did it).
I don't know how the installation passed... but I guess...well...

Try something like:

Code: Select all

convert -version

Code: Select all

 # convert -version

I tried to answer as precisely as I could. I currently see two workarounds.

• Avoid rpms and Install from sources (but aren't rpms used to facilitate life?)
• Edit TYPO3 source (do not want!)

I hope there's an easier way to get out of here
