Hooray! Montage worked this time. Many thanks for your help, fwm42. What did it? You may ask: I went back to give it one more try with my two .jpeg input files. I did this because of your remark that jpg was not in the delegates list. Well I knew that, and I knew that jpeg WAS in the delegates list ...

This is the relevant line from the output of both 'convert -list configure' and also 'montage -list configure': DELEGATES bzlib jpeg mpeg the 'bzlib' is probably the result of an earlier mistake on my part which resulted in the Linux executable, bunzip2, being in /usr/local/bin. (I don't think that ...

Progess!! I had been re-running only the final part (make intall) of IM. This time I did the lot (./configure ; make ; make install ) Now this is what I get from my montage command: bertie@ubuntu:~$ montage -geometry +4+40 -tile 1x pesach2.jpeg rpesach1.jpeg result.jpeg montage: unable to open image ...

Found and installed libjpeg-6b and tried montage again. --- exactly the same outcome.
Am I doing something wrong like forgetting to also do a make install in the IM directory or
forgetting to do ldconfig ?

I went to www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates I did not see a jpg but there was a jpeg: jpegsrcv8.tar.gz I installed that, then reran the make install of ImageMagick and again tried my montage run this time with .jpeg files with the following result: bertie@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ montage -geometry +4 ...

I took fmw42's advice, purgged my Ubuntu IM and compiled IM from source and re-installed - so now it's version is 6.6.9-7 and the executable is in /usr/local/bin. My command line was montage -geometry +4+4 -tile 1x little2.jpg little1.jpg result.jpg This gave the following error output montage ...

replying to fmw42--- montage rose: rose: rose_tmp.png just sleeps till I kill it. bertie@ubuntu:~$ convert -version Version: ImageMagick 6.5.7-8 2010-12-02 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 ImageMagick Studio LLC Features: OpenMP bertie@ubuntu:~$ montage -version ...

I tried fw42's suggestion. It makes no difference. Evidently the important thing is that the last-entered
filename is to be the output and the other filenames, perhaps from a wildcard, are inputs.

I did do what I said in my previous posting - i.e. removed the old tar archive in /usr/local/bin/applications, purged
and re-installed imagemagic. It made no difference. - I get the same debug trace output. Help needed.

A clue to what's wrong is that in my directory /usr/local/share is a tar archive from an earlier version: ImageMagic-6.2.4/utilities.
Maybe I should remove that .tar file and do apt-get purge and then apt-get install of imagemagic.

Problem with montage. My runs were taking a very long time. I had to kill them and in no instance was there any output file. I then reduced the size of each of the two input files from 1024x768 to 64x48 but still the run had to be killed. By means of the top command I discovered that the process was ...
