Convert freezing when -thumbnail on 6.6.1-0 on CentOS

Post by akorbeti »

Hi,

I just compiled from sources IM v6.6.1-0 on a Centos server and I face the following problem:

When I use -thumbnail as a parameter , convert hogs the CPU (100%) and never returns.
If I do not use the -thumbnail parameter, convert is fast as lightning.

Are there any known issues with -thumbnail? Any ideas on what may cause this or what to do to find out ?

Thanks!

Aris

CentOS has a buggy libgomp OpenMP library. Add --disable-openmp to your configure script command line and remake and reinstall ImageMagick. If the problem persists, posts a URL to your input file and the command you are using. We need to reproduce the problem before we can comment further.
