imagemagick

[Nico]

After installing imagemagick on the server it does not appear to work correctly. When trying to generate thumbnail it creates core dumps and the error as best as I can determine it is :

Converting imagesperl: constitute.c:2015: ReadImage: Assertion `image_info->signature == 0xabacadab' failed.

Is there anyway to correct this?
TIA

how did you install imagemagick?

[Nico]

We installed the RPM's from WHM first and then the Perl Module ImageMagick.

[shaun]

log into the server as root

mkdir /home/cpim
cd /home/cpim
/scripts/installrpm ImageMagick
/scripts/installrpm ImageMagick-devel
wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/magick.tar.gz
tar zxvf magick.tar.gz
cd magick
sh install

That procedure definately changed the error message, but it still is not able to generate a thumbmail for some reason. It results in this error message now:

Thanks for the advice though, it is better than before - it's not leaving core dumps now.

Did anyone come up with a solution to this? I have encountered this same problem and am having no luck finding an answer.

shaun, I am curious as to why you would install it in the 'home' dir. as opposed to the 'root' dir.? Is there some benefit or does it not really matter?

I have installed this on 2 diff boxes, one from inside the WHM the other from shell

I dont run anything on either box to test this, is there away in shell to see if the installs workd?

I did that and got this error message:

then mv ".deps/dcm.Tpo" ".deps/dcm.Plo"; \
else rm -f ".deps/dcm.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi

I am not linux mastermind so I have no clue what this means.

Website Rob: It's not installing it in /home it's just building it there. Reason for using /home.... home usually has the most space, building in /root or /tmp alot of times (expecially with buildapache) can max out the space and cause compiling problems. So i just use /home


Adiemus: try this before you run that
/scripts/installrpm libxml2
/scripts/installrpm libxml2-devel
/scripts/installrpm freetype
/scripts/installrpm freetype-devel

Just a guess, what Distro/Version you running?
