whereis ImageMagick?

Post by update »

Hi,
something off topic: where do I get this ImageMagick 4.2.9 (rpm) to install it on the server (running still suse 9)
I tried to install IM > 6 but there are some libraries missing, at least libMagick so it didn't work out.
Thanks in advance

I tried to install it,
but the installation failed:

package ImageMagick-5.5.7-233 is already installed

I think phpwcms isn't working with this version... (at least my installation isn't (1.2.6))

So I will stick to GD

Looking forward to it

On my "shared" webhost (1&1) I only had shell access, so I installed IM myself in my root and wound up with a path like below (so it probably won't help you, sorry!)
Here's how mine looks:

Code: Select all

$phpwcms["imagick_path"]      = "/kunden/homepages/5/d82003424/htdocs/bin/";       //Path to ImageMagick (default="" - none)
It should probably be "/usr/local/bin"
otherwise open a terminal-session an do

Code: Select all

$> whereis convert

Thank you,
I got it: /usr/bin (suse installed)

Suggestion for conf.inc.php:

Code: Select all

..... //Path to ImageMagicks "convert" eg /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin (default="" - none)
And now it is working. I wanted to give it a try to check whether it would handle my transparent png graphics better than before or not. I will see...

...but why ... ?

Ok, since reading about IM I found a version 4.2.9 which does not needed to be compieled.

I can see IM is very mighty! But what of this can be used under phpwcms?

Do we have a living site using IM ? Sorry about asking such stupid questions but having good image machine would make some play with ssh worth the risk :D
