LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] ImageMagick > Gwenview

ImageMagick > Gwenview > digiKam

Recently I've noticed Gwenview cannot find the kipiplugins which are now part of digiKam, so I re-installed digiKam, but no luck.
So, I ran Gwenview from inside a terminal and when exiting the program it gave a series of errors that said it cannot find each plugin, for example,

Quote:

gwenview(11323) Gwenview::KIPIInterface::loadOnePlugin: Plugin from library "kipiplugin_expoblending" failed to load
gwenview(11323)/KIPI (loading) KIPI::PluginLoader::Info::plugin: Cannot create instance for plugin "RawConverter" ( "kipiplugin_rawconverter" ) with error: "Cannot load library /usr/lib64/kde4/kipiplugin_rawconverter.so: (libMagick++-6.Q16.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

So, I tried to run digiKam and the following error was generated,

Quote:

bash-4.4$ digikam
digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick++-6.Q16.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
bash-4.4$

As mentioned, this was after re-installing fresh copies of each program, inclucing ImageMagick.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Did you check on your system to make sure libMagick++-6.Q16.so.6 actually exists and is a valid symlink to libMagick++-6.Q16.so.6.0.0? If so, did you make sure you installed the right package for your architecture? It should be in /usr/lib64 for x86_64, for example.

If you are running -current, when imagemagick gets a shared library bumped, you will need to rebuild digiKam to look for the correct library.

montagdude,
As willysr pointed out (Thank you, willysr), ImageMagick has had a version bump in -current, so it has "6.Q16.so.7", not "6.Q16.so.6."
As I only install digiKam to get the kipi-plugins, I re-installed a older version of ImageMagick and that took care of the problem.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
:hattip:

I would recommend to rebuilt digiKam instead of downgrading imagemagick, since other packages are being rebuilt against newer imagemagick

Glad I could be somewhat of help. I didn't realize you were running -current.

Just tried that, three times, and each time it ended in an "unknown error" at the "plug-in_videoslideshow.moc."

since current now includes ffmpeg, if you have ffmpeg from SBo previously, it would be better to rebuilt ffmpeg, opencv, and then digikam in that order. That will link ffmpeg to the correct deps in your system, opencv will link to the correct ffmpeg, and digiKam will use the correct ffmpeg and opencv.

With the recent version bumps the same problem with Gwenview has returned, but this time also includes jasper.
Perhaps, it would just be easier to rebuild Gwenview?
