Topic: Installing ImageMagick

[joeyjoejoey1]

Hi,
I have installed coppermine photo gallery but it requires imagemagick to convert the pictures etc but I have had alot of trouble installing it.
I have found a good guide from here:
http://www.imagefolio.com/users/docs/pro31/imagemagick.shtml
But I get stuck when its looking for gcc
[root@server1 jpeg-6b]# ./configure --enable-shared
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

I'm stumped!!
If anyone knows I would really appreciate any help,
Joe

Compilers and other development tools are not installed on the SME Server. They are not required on a gateway, and there are pre-built packages for almost anything you need.

Install ImageMagick from an RPM built for RedHat 7.3 from one of these locations or a RedHat mirror:

http://www.freshrpms.net

http://www.rpmfind.net

Specifically, ImageMagick RPMs can be found here:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/

It will have some dependencies, which you'll also have to download.

With 7.0alpha, you can just run "yum install ImageMagick" and it all just happens

Glad you like it. Many thanks to everyone who's helped with the testing.

Thanks for that I will try the rpm, version 7 sounds alot easier to install programs on! When will it be ready for non testing purposes?
Also how would I install the rpm?http://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ImageMagick-5.4.3.11-1.i386.rpm

Sorry to be so dum but I'm trying to move to linux as windows has more holes than swiss cheese!
Cheers

When its ready.

[joeyjoejoey1]

Haha any hints tho??

How about just after when it's ready !

It is a work in progress and I have never heard any mention of specific release or finalisation dates for any sme releases for the very reason that no one knows, until when it is ready !

An educated guess.
At current rate of progress if we are all lucky perhaps this year.

[duncan]

I knew I had installed ImageMagick for my Drupal site.

The packages you need are.

freetype-devel-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm
ImageMagick-perl-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm
ImageMagick-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm
libtiff-3.5.5-10.i386.rpm
ImageMagick-devel-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm
XFree86-libs-4.0.3-5.i386.rpm
ImageMagick-Magick++-5.4.9-1.i386.rpm

Regards Duncan

Thats great thanks duncan, I will try and install that lateron when I have access to the server.
Could you tell me the commands that I need to install the rpm's. I'm still very new to linux!
Thanks

[duncan]

rpm -ivh *.rpm

[joeyjoejoey1]

Ah simple! Thanks!

We're hoping 7.0 isn't too far off, but we can't commit to a timetable. Everyone is doing this in the time they have available.

7.0alpha26 is looking very good indeed. Most of the bugs in the bug tracker have fixes, but there are a few important ones which still need to be squashed. If you think you can help, please look through the bug list:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=96750&atid=615772

I've been running 7.0alpha for some time, but you should only do so if you know what to look for, will report bugs in the bug tracker, and ideally could help investigate how to fix them. We don't need code for that, but someone else spending time Googling really helps. Clear bug reports are wonderful. Ones with pointers to fixes are gold.

There are lots of ways people can help - bug reporting, testing fixes, documentation, spreading the word, contributing/releasing code to expand the product.

If you can, please give 7.0alpha26 a run. But, please check the bug tracker, and remember it's called "Alpha" for a reason  - bugs are expected in Alphas. Please, please, only reports bugs in the bug tracker linked above - it's the best use of our limited development cycles.

rpm -ivh *.rpm

Unless you are installing kernel RPMs, it is better to use

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

This upgrades existing packages, and will not normally allow you  to install two packages of the same name.

[gregswallow]

New option since SME7 Beta6

Code: [Select]

yum localinstall *.rpm

This will install the rpms you have locally, and if they require any dependancies from the Centos repository, it will automatically find whats needed and prompt you with a Y/N to install everything.  Neat huh?
