After installing ImageMagick on HP-UX (PA-Risc-Architecture) we tested on commandline following test:


dvux66:root:ImageMagick-6.5.8-10> /usr/local/bin/convert logo:
logo.tif

convert: Error writing data for field "DocumentName". `logo.tif' @ tiff.c/TIFFErrors/493.


After this error message we tested it on another HP-UX Machine (Itanium-Architecture) successful.

Sorry but I found anywhere here on this site or in a searchresult about Image Magick a explaining text what error 493 means.

What is the problem?
How could we solve that?

Or is it a platform-specific issue on PA-Risc? Customer steady that both machines are equal on OS- and Components-Level

493 is the line number inside the TIFFErrors method inside the tiff.c ImageMagick source module. This exception is thrown by the TIFF delegate library and not ImageMagick. Type

• identify -list format

and note the TIFF version #. Are they different between the two hosts? Either way, the problem is most likely within TIFF rather than ImageMagick.
