ImageMagick installation

Hullo, all!

This is a real newbie question for you:

I wish to install ImageMagick in an existing Virtualmin context. Is there a standard protocol for this? (ie. directory locations, manual edits to ini files, etc.)

Details:
CentOS Linux 6.9
Webmin version: 1.844
Virtualmin version: 5.99
Kernel and CPU: Linux 2.6.32-696.1.1.el6.x86_64 on x86_64
PHP version: 5.3.3

Please advise.

Thanking you in advance!

So, I decided to install to the directory:

usr/local/

My install stops at the line below. Any thoughts as to the problem? I have tried rewriting the directory path in config.m5, but I’m really vague on where that path should lead.

I’m a programmer, not a server guy. Any help is appreciated.

I presume you followed this? https://www.liaohuqiu.net/posts/install-php-imagick-on-centos/

I certainly have — at least the same procedure, posted by others. This particular iteration (Srain’s page) also includes the path to the php-config file, which I altered to match mine (/usr/bin/php-config)

I still get the same error, and I am attempting to use these instructions here to redirect the path to the ImageMagick config file “magickwand.h”.

Here are some of the paths I have tried in the config.m4 file:

if test -r $WAND_DIR/include/ImageMagick-7.0.6-0/MagickWand/MagickWand.h; then
		if test -r $WAND_DIR/include/ImageMagick-7/wand/MagickWand.h; then

		if test -r $WAND_DIR/include/ImageMagick-6/wand/MagickWand.h; then

		if test -r $WAND_DIR/include/ImageMagick/wand/MagickWand.h; then

What am I missing?

Not having used this myself, I will read through your comments and check if I can see anything obvious.

Having read through some of the comments on one of the posts, have you tried this option yet?

yum install ImageMagick-devel

Yes, indeed. This demanded an update of php, however; and that bolloxed my set up. Once I figure out where my php5_module file went, I will let you know how the ImageMagick install went :stuck_out_tongue:

Tomorrow.

Thank you for following up on my progress.

Follow up note: this is all working well since I updated to PHP 5.4.45.

Thanks again for your help.
