Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi,

I'm running RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.5 with ImageMagick 6.2.8.0 and ImageMagick-devel 6.2.8.0. Two questions:

1.) What's the smoothest route to take to upgrade to the latest ImageMagick and ImageMagick-devel? (details please)
2.) ImageMagick-devel-6.6.3-9.x86_64.rpm at ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagi ... OS/x86_64/ is empty, why?

After upgrading to the latest ImageMagick and ImageMagick-devel, I will want to use imagick (PHP extension) to create radial gradient images in PNG format and save them to disk.

Thank you

Nick

Edit: I uninstalled the outdated RedHat version of ImageMagick and ImageMagick-devel and installed the latest version of those two programs using the RPM's at ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org.

Any thoughts on this ? Thanks,

Nick

Type

• wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagi ... ick.tar.gz
  tar xvfz ImageMagick.tar.gz
  cd ImageMagick-6.6.3-9
  ./configure
  make
  make install
  ldconfig /usr/local/lib
  /usr/local/bin/identify -list configure

If you find that the ImageMagick utilities are dog slow you may have a buggy libgomp implementation. In that case rebuild ImageMagick with this command

• ./configure --disable-openmp

Thank you for the reply.

As an alternative to installing IM from source, are the RPM's (ImageMagick-6.6.3-9.x86_64.rpm and ImageMagick-devel-6.6.3-9.x86_64.rpm) also an option even though they are designed for CentOS? Thank you,

Nick

Yes, you can use the CentOS RPM's for Redhat 5.5.
