Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi,
I am currently using IM 6.2.0 (I'm using FC3).

I cant seem to upgrade as it requires other things -
error: Failed dependencies:
libgs.so.8 is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.1-2
libgvc.so.2 is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.1-2
liblcms.so.1 is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.1-2
libpng12.so.0(PNG12_0) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.1-2
rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by ImageMagick-6.3.1-2

I origionally installed using yum - but yum doesnt seem to know about the latest versions.

Any ideas how I can get yum to see the new versions ? I'd prefer yum as that'll install all the other bits I need without problems. Otherwise - how do I install the other bits above as I cant find them.

Thanks,

Tom

The new releases don't gennerally get built for the older 'legacy' FC's unless you build the RPM yourself.

Download the .src.rpm and try to build it with.
rpmbuild --nodeps --rebuild ~/dl/ImageMagick-*.src.rpm

The RPMs will be created in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/

when finished, you can clean up the WHOLE build area with...
rm -rf /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/*/* /usr/src/redhat/{SOURCES,SPECS,BUILD}/*

I gave up on that server in the end and put the site on one running a new version of centos - seemed to all install fine and has all the features I need.

Thanks,

Tom
