Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I currently using SCO Unix and downloaded ImageMagick-6.8.3-9 to my /usr/lib directory. I followed the direction on the ImageMagick website, but still could not get it to work. Can anybody please show me step by step running and setting the path for my ImageMagick on my SCO Unix...thx!!!

You should post the commands you used with paths and configuration information so others can see what you have done. I do not work on Linux, but on Mac. I am not sure you should download your IM to /usr/lib. Typically users just download to their working directory and have IM install nominally to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.

See for source installs, install all your delegates first and then see

For binary installs with certain Unix systems (typically RPM packages), see

I use linux but the obvious question
Did you download a precompiled package or a tarball for compiling?

A quick look around for 'precompiled' came up this this which is probably typical (although old)

Very similar to linux except linux is not in 'local' but is /usr/bin & /usr/lib

A listing - all the usual are there
/usr/local/bin
animate compare composite conjure convert display identify import Magick config mogrify montage Wand-config

same for the libs
/usr/local/lib
ImageMagick-6.1.9
libMagick.so libMagick.so.6 libMagick.so.7.1.9 libWand.so libWand.so.6 libWand.so.7.1.9 pkgconfig

There are also the usual man and share folder entries.

I would just make sure that any pre-compiled executables are marked as such. Either they will work or not.
