convert fails to find configure.xml

Post by gravitas »

i installed the imgemagick binary from the image magick website following the instructions at http://imagemagick.org/script/binary-re ... php#macosx

when i try to run the convert program i get the following output:

$ convert -list configure

Path: [built-in]

Name Value
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES
NAME ImageMagick
QuantumDepth 16
convert: unable to access configure file `configure.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/616.


i can see that the configure.xml file is installed:

$ find . -name configure.xml
./lib/ImageMagick-6.8.7/config-Q16/configure.xml
./share/doc/ImageMagick-6/www/source/configure.xml



my environment settings are as follows:

PATH=/Users/mainoo/IM/ImageMagick-6.8.7/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin
DISPLAY=:0
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/mainoo/IM/ImageMagick-6.8.7/lib/
MAGICK_HOME=/Users/mainoo/IM/ImageMagick-6.8.7


i see that a similar issue was reported earlier this year (see link below) and a fix was applied - is this the same issue and if so, did the fix get ported to the mac binary?

Afaict, this post never got a reply. I have the exact same problem, everything functionally identical to the OP. Any love for this?

Jooc, why doesn't the warning message specify where convert is *trying* to find the configure.xml file???

What Mac OSX version are you using? The binary is only for Yosemite. An alternate method would be to use MacPorts to install IM. Or to use MacPorts to install your delegates and then install IM manually from source. I use the latter on Snow Leopard. See viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21502&p=88202&hilit ... rts#p88202

You might also want to upgrade now to IM 6.9.0.0.

"-debug all" will tell you this.

I have seen the same bug.

I am running the binary release of ImageMagick 6.9.1 on Mac OS X 10.10.4

From the debug output it is searching in:

$MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH/configure.xml
$MAGICK_HOME/etc/ImageMagick-6/configure.xml
$MAGICK_HOME/share/ImageMagick-6/configure.xml
/ImageMagick-6.9.1/lib/ImageMagick-6.9.1//config-Q16/configure.xml
(ClientPath)/etc/ImageMagick-6/configure.xml
(ClientPath)/share/ImageMagick-6/configure.xml
/ImageMagick-6.9.1/lib/ImageMagick-6.9.1//config-Q16/configure.xml
configure.xml
$HOME/.config/ImageMagick/configure.xml
$HOME/.magick/configure.xml

The correct path is

(ClientPath)/lib/ImageMagick-6.9.1/config-Q16/configure.xml
