I had a functioning IM 6.6.2-6 running on my Ubuntu 10.04 that I had compiled from source and wanted to upgrade to 6.6.3-1 in the same way. I followed the instructions, downloading the archive and running:

$ tar xvfz ImageMagick.tar.gz
$ cd ImageMagick-6.6.3-1
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

When I try to run an IM command, I get this error:

Code: Select all

convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagickCore.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Opening config.log, I see this error first:

...and then later...

...and this "confdefs.h" error keeps repeating through the script.

Any ideas for a fix?

I've just run 'make uninstall' and it seems I'm back to a functioning IM 6.6.2-6. Thank God for that!

As root, type ldconfig /usr/local/lib.

I'm a little nervous now... Could you tell me what this will do and when to run it. I've uninstalled 6.6.3, and again have a functioning 6.6.2. I've looked in /usr/local/lib and it contains the ImageMagick-6.6.3 folder with subfolders:

Code: Select all

ImageMagick-6.6.3
  -config
    (Empty)
  -modules-Q16
    -coders
      (Empty)
    -filters
      (Empty)

I don't want to make things worse so please let me know if I should delete this folder first, and whether the ldconfig command should be run before or after I install 6.6.3 again.

Many thanks for your help!
