Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi folks,

I've been trying to install ImageMagick in a FreeNAS jail for a few days now and have lucked out.

I've done the following:

• Download the latest version - 7.0.2 from this site and followed the tutorial Install from source
• I get to the make part and it churns through it for a while before eventually saying

Not knowing much about *nix I'm now lost.
I've updated everything in the jail.

Are there some dependencies which are missing? Any tips on where to go next hugely appreciated.


Many thanks
Crispin

I am not an expert on installation on Unix systems. But if you install from source, then you need to install all the delegate libraries that you want before Imagemagick (e.g. PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc). See possible delegates at http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/. Fo any that you want, you may want to be sure if there are more recent versions by a Web search.

thanks - I'll take a read of that.

Is there an easier way for installing this? I'm not precious about how I do it

How utterly frustrating. I could have just said: All installed now and working.
