Newbie - installation on Debian linux

Post by CNBarnes »

Forgive me if this question is addressed elsewhere (i did look).

I am a system administrator of a Linux (Debian) system. One of my users asked me to install "convert". Never having used any of your products before, it appears that there is not a debian package already for this (I only saw rpm's). Is there one somewhere that I'm missing?

Um, ok. I installed from source - it SEEMED to go ok (some of the messages flew by too fast to see).

When I issue the "convert" command, I get this error message:

Code: Select all

convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagickCore.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

:?

You may need to type 'ldconfig /usr/local/lib' so convert can find its dependent libraries.
