"Unable to open configure file" error

[ajarsenault]

I installed ImageMagick on my Mac and followed the command line instructions exactly as listed on the official website. However, when I type "magick logo: logo.gif" to test it (as suggested in the directions) I get this error:

Code: Select all

magick: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `magic.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/715.

I then tried a simple compare and got the same error message above along with this one:

Code: Select all

compare: UnableToOpenBlob 'kitty2.jpg': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2695.

I was in the directory that the two images I was trying to compare were in.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? It's driving me crazy.. I've gotten ImageMagick set up before by following those instructions & don't remember having any problems like this.

How did you install Imagemagick? From binary or from source? If from binary, is that binary compatible with your Mac OS version? If from source, did you install all the needed delegates.

This is the way I install IM on my Mac. I install all delegates from MacPorts and then install IM from source. See viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21502&p=88202&hilit ... rts#p88202

Though you could just install the binary from MacPorts or Homebrew.

Binary - based on the information provided it is compatible. It kept telling me imagemagick wasn't found when I tried the install via MacPorts. I didn't realize I could use Homebrew though, just tried that and it's working. Thank you very much for the reply!
