How do I get Imagemagick supported on my server ?

Hello,

I am trying to a seo-modded version of phpBB and
it requires that Imagemagick support is available to
my php setup.

The install software has detected that it can not
find Imagemagick.

I have looked at my setup (using phpinfo() cmd )
but can not see any reference to this Imagemagick.

Can some one please help me by telling me how I check
this out - I guess that I need to change my php.ini file ?

Well, the first thing you’ll want to do is install the “imagemagick” system package, if you haven’t already.

That may or may not satisfy what your app is after.

If that’s still not enough, you may want to try installing the imagick PHP extension from PHP’s PECL site. You can do that with:

pecl install imagick

Hopefully that will do the trick!

Thanks for replying,

I found this download page:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#unix

My system info in VM pro gives me this:

Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 on i686

So do you think I should go for this download option:
ImageMagick-6.4.9-7.i586.rpm download download Fedora Core 10 i586 RPM

Please see download page link above.

Is it correct to do for a binary download or should I
be doing something else ?

Thanks for advice

There should be an imagemagick package for your distro in the repository-- you can install it from the command line by typing:

yum install imagemagick

That should work on RHEL/CentOS.
-Eric

Hi,
I have tried that, but don’t know if it worked.

Using "putty", I got a "nothing to do" message !

Here is a pict:

What should I do now ?

Maybe this image is better:

I dont know this forum shrinks the image, anyway
that images says this:

yum install imagemagick
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

So I don’t know if it did anything or not.

How do I check ?

Howdy Davvit,
a quick search at rpm.pbone.net for imagemagick shows plenty of choices. My assumption here is that your server is using CentOS 5 or
RHEL 5.

Good luck
Joe

Well, imagemagick does appear to be in the CentOS repository. You may actually have it installed already – what does this show:

rpm -qa | grep imagemagick

If you have it installed, you may need to install the imagick PHP plugin with "pecl install imagick".
-Eric

Hey Eric,
this brings up an interesting point.
I overlooked the package because of the capital "I" in ImageMagick, I did look in the CentOS-5 repo and scrolled right down the page to the "i" packages. Doh!
Is yum case sensitive?
Just a thought.
Joe

it is
yum install ImageMagick

all though i did the install manually, the cmd will work on centos

Yes, yum (and RPM) is case sensitive. It’s an accident of history that ImageMagick doesn’t get downcased, I think. It’s a really old library, and it’s always been named ImageMagick, so I guess it just continues to be named ImageMagick, even though the vast majority of packages get downcased.

Hi,
Thanks for reply.

Using Putty, I logged in and got the:

[root@heavyhoster ~]# prompt

( I hope thats a good sign ? )

Then I typed in what you suggested:
rpm -qa | grep imagemagick

Nothing came back, just the prompt:

[root@heavyhoster ~]#

So what does that mean ?

( I guess you can tell that I am new to this ? )

OK - since you must all be tucked up in bed
( or out on the town ! ) I have now tried to enter
the install command:

[root@heavyhoster ~]# pecl install imagick

This is the result:
downloading imagick-2.2.2.tgz …
Starting to download imagick-2.2.2.tgz (77,212 bytes)
…done: 77,212 bytes
11 source files, building
running: phpize
sh: phpize: command not found
ERROR: `phpize’ failed

[root@heavyhoster ~]#

Any idea why it errored ?
What can I do now ?

Thanks.

Howdy,

Well, regarding the rpm command you typed, try tweaking it to this, which does a case-insensitive search:

rpm -qa | grep -i imagemagick

You’ll definitely need to have the ImageMagick package installed for any of this to work.

Next, regarding the pecl command you typed – you’re on the right path, but it looks like you’re missing the “phpize” program, which is used to compile PHP libraries.

You can install it by typing:

yum install php-devel

With Imagemagick and phpize installed, that should get you to the point where you can install that imagick PHP module.
-Eric

Hi again.
Thanks for helping.

Well I installed the php-devel
by typing "yum install php-devel"

In the end it gave me this message:

Installed: php-devel.i386 0:5.1.6-20.el5_2.1
Dependency Installed: autoconf.noarch 0:2.59-12 automake.noarch 0:1.9.6-2.1 imake.i386 0:1.0.2-3
Complete!

[root@heavyhoster ~]#

So I hope that this is an uptodate version of what I need.

Now I also typed this:
[root@heavyhoster ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i imagemagick

and I just got my prompt back:
[root@heavyhoster ~]#

So I guess that means I don’t have what I need yet ?

What should I do now ?

why not enter
yum install ImageMagick
and see if it wants to install ? If it doesn’t then you have it.

OK - thanks Ronald.

It worked - lots an lots of stuff about gnomes and
magick - but no hob-goblins ?

Finally this arrived:

I did a check:
[root@heavyhoster ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i imagemagick

And got this:

So I guess thats good !

Thanks again

hi there, following on from where this thread left off, I installed ImageMagick, then went on to install imagick, a php wrapper for ImageMagick…

Libraries have been installed in:
/var/tmp/pear-build-root/imagick-2.2.2/modules

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR’
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:

• add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH’ environment variable
  during execution
• add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH’ environment variable
  during linking
• use the `-Wl,–rpath -Wl,LIBDIR’ linker flag
• have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf’

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

You should add “extension=imagick.so” to php.ini

I added extension=imagick.so to the relevant places. But ImageMagick or imagic are not listed when I run phpinf();

I’m very baffled.

It looks like you’re moving in the right direction. The things we’d need to make sure of are:

1. That /usr/lib/php/modules is part of your extension include path

2. That the place you added imagick.so to is actually being seen when PHP is run

Is there a way you could post a link to your phpinfo() page?
