Convert doesn't work as regular user when installing from Source

[abishekrsrikaanth]

I installed from source using the steps mentioned here https://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php.
I am installing the latest version of Imagemagick on Ubuntu 16.04.

The installation seems to work fine, but I can only run convert as a sudo and not as a regular user.
Am I missing something?

Thanks

Did you install all your desired delegates first, such as for processing PNG, TIF, JPG files, etc. See http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/

What do you get from

Code: Select all

convert -version

or

Code: Select all

magick -version

since you did not say what version you installed.

Other than missing delegates, I know little about installing on Linux.

I don't use *nix, but that sounds like a privileges problem, perhaps fixable with chmod.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin$ pwd
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/bin$ ls -trla convert
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mar 29 16:30 convert -> magick

@fmw42 thank you.
@snibgo I was thinking permissions too, here is the output for the file permissions. Am i missing anything?

@snibgo, got it work. A restart was require for the convert to work without sudo.

You did not answer my question. What do you get from running

Code: Select all

magick -version

or if need be

Code: Select all

sudo magick -version

This will tell us what delegates you have installed. Though this is not related to your sudo issue, it is important to have delegates installed to do any useful work.
