Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi. I try since 2 days to install ImageMagick for using it in CGI-perl script and it is impossible.

Only these lines works.

tar xvfz ImageMagick.tar.gz
configure and compile ImageMagick:
cd ImageMagick-6.7.1
./configure


When I type make, its not working or give me a lot of errors. And when I try to use Image::Magick, it always say cannot find loadable modules.

It sounds like you are missing many secondary libraries needed for building ImageMagick.

The simplist method of fixing this is to get your packagemanager to install then remove Imagemagick-devel and all its dependancies. that will install most of the secondary development libraries and includes needed.

Other library however may also be needed for extra features. like RSVG, and autotrace. perhaps JP2000 'Jaspar' libraries.

My own notes on compiling and installing Imagemagick (for linux) is at
