Completely new to image magick and can't get it to work.

I think it is likely I'm suffering due to the issue discussed here:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24326

I'm currently using phone connection for internet access trying to get imagemagick to work. Won't have proper internet access for a few days. I was expecting after installing yesterday just to get down to work today.

I've installed from the binary download not via MacPorts using instructions here:

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... php#macosx

The installation I had installed is 6.8.7 but the instructions for installation describe the path as:

Code: Select all

export MAGICK_HOME="$HOME/ImageMagick-6.8.8"

So since the fix for the issue described above seems to have been done for version 6.8.7-3 I'm assuming version 6.8.8 should have that fix. What I don't understand is why am I downloading version 6.8.7 when ImageMagick seems to be suggesting that the latest release download should be 6.8.8.

I'm not sure downloading Apple's developer tools and macports is going to work on my phone so I'm looking for an alternate solution.

How do you know what exact version you have installed?

Perhaps you have multiple versions. You can check with

type -a convert

What do you get from

convert -version

When did you do the download? Was it this week?

If you truly get an old version from the current download page, then perhaps report that on the Bugs forum.

Thanks for the response. I downloaded it again during today by sharing my phone's data connection. Not really meant to do that. But the download was the same, or at least the folder created when uncompressing the .tar.gz file had the same name ImageMagick-6.8.7.

If I do:

Code: Select all

convert -version

It returns:

Code: Select all

It is odd, if you downloaded the binary, that you only have 3 delegates listed. You should have lots more including: jpg, tiff, png. If you do not get x showing in the list, you may still need to install X11 from the Apple Xcode Tools.

I can verify that the download decompressed folder does say 6.8.7
