Hi,

I would love to get PythonMagick running on feisty. So, from source I have built the following (in /usr/local):

python-2.5.1
ImageMagick-6.3.5
boost_1_34_1
PythonMagick-0.7

One problem:
getting PythonMagick to run ./configure correctly. It seems it doesn't find any boost libraries it likes. But, according to boost and boost tests, the boost libs are fine (in /usr/local/lib)
I really had to fool with environment flags, etc., to get PythonMagick to build - which it finally did. But I am not sure it is right.

Two subsequent problems:

1. When I run python, and try to "import PythonMagick", I get a "ImportError: No module named _PythonMagick". The is very perplexing, for clearly there is a _PythonMagick.so contained in the site-packages/PythonMagick directory.

2. If I actually cd to that directory, and then run python and do an import, I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PythonMagick/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
import _PythonMagick
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PythonMagick/_PythonMagick.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK5boost6python7objects21py_function_impl_base9max_arityEv

It obviously isn't finding the boost library (or wasn't linked to it correctly).

Any ideas on how to fix? This is driving me crazy!

Thanks alot.

did you check the output of ./configure?
i use

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python-2.5 --with-boost=/usr/include/boost --with-boost-python=boost_python CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/python-2.5/include/python2.5

make sure you can see these from output

Code: Select all

checking boost/python.hpp usability... yes
checking boost/python.hpp presence... yes
checking for boost/python.hpp... yes
checking for Usable Boost::Python library... -lboost_python

other buildings
build python 2.5.1

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python-2.5 --enable-shared --enable-unicode=ucs4

and i installed Magick++ thru yum, and install boost-1.34 use rpm

Code: Select all

#yum install ImageMagick-devel ImageMagick-c++ ImageMagick-c++-devel 
#rpm -ivh boost-1.34.1-2.fc8.i386.rpm
#rpm -ivh boost-devel-1.34.1-2.fc8.i386.rpm

i am new to imagemagick, just install it succesfully . hope this helpfull

I don't have a MAC, but from the output seems you didn't installed boost headers or installed in a non-standard path.
1.try to install a boost develop package(name is boost1.34-devel.python25?) if have
2.find where the boost header files are, and use --with-boost=/path/to/boostheaders
i am a newbie, correct me if i was wrong,hope this will help
