Trying convert on any FlashPix file results in "Aborted"
Posted: 2014-02-11T13:59:00-07:00
On a shared host I don't manage, the already-installed /usr/bin/convert wasn't configured and built with the FPX delegate, which I need for converting some old FlashPix files.
So I built the FPX delegate from source, and configured and built a local copy of imagemagick using it ( ./src/ImageMagick-6.8.8-2/configure --with-fpx=yes LDFLAGS='-L/home/myusername/local/lib' CPPFLAGS='-I/home/myusername/local/include/' )
Ok, now shows . Looks good, I think.
(By the way, what does "native blob support" mean in the context of the format list?)
But when I try to convert any FlashPix image (e.g. the sample http://trac.imagemagick.org/export/1/Im ... t_jpeg.fpx ), it fails without any explanation:
Same thing happens with using the "identify" command on any FPX file -- again, I just get the word "Aborted".
What am I doing wrong?
(I notice in convert's manual file there's a command line option "-view" with the description "FlashPix viewing transforms", but I don't know if that's pertinent, as I haven't yet found where this option's usage is documented.)

Ok,
Code: Select all
~/imagemagick/utilities$ ./convert -list format
