How to fix ImageMagick issue in CentOS ?

cooljai · 10-22-2008, 07:17 AM

Dear Members,

I'm trying to install ImageMagick for perl in CentOS 5 box. Here are some information:

First I tried installation using yum, which goes ok. I can verify:

Code:

# rpm -qa | grep ImageMagick
ImageMagick-6.2.8.0-3.el5.4
ImageMagick-perl-6.2.8.0-3.el5.4

But when testing it, its throwing errors:

Code:

# perl -e 'use Image::Magick; print $Image::Magick::VERSION."\n"'

Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.so' for module Image::Magick: libMagickCore.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
 at -e line 1
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

Then I tried manual installation of ImageMagick (ImageMagick-6.4.4, which includes module for perl also) and its compilation/installation goes okay but same error afterwards.

Some more input:

Code:

# ldd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.so
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xbfffe000)
        libMagickCore.so.1 => not found
        libMagickWand.so.1 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d75000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)


# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib

Any help will be appreciated.

Not sure if this will help or not, but a lot of times you need the -devel version of a package:

ImageMagick-devel

It works well on my system, but I have a slightly different (updated) version:

Code:

$ rpm -qa | grep ImageMagick
ImageMagick-perl-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1
ImageMagick-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1

Which CentOS are you running on? Mine is

Code:

# lsb_release -d
Description:    CentOS release 5.2 (Final)

@colucix: My box is CentOS 5.0:

Code:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.0 (Final)

Any other clue ?

Looks like you may be missing a lot of updates. I installed as 5.0 but through updates I now show 5.2. When was the last time you ran a yum update?

Yeh, seems I'm missing updates. well, buddy, could you please reply with the command to install vital updates? (yum update ? )

lazlow · 10-24-2008, 12:43 AM

Well vital is going to depend on you. But to install the updates of whatever you already have installed run "yum update" as root. I will warn you that if you have not done so in a while (and it looks that way) you are going to have a lot of updates.

Hi lazlow, Thanks for the info. Running 'yum update' commands results in several dependecy errors:

Code:

Error: Missing Dependency: libaprutil-0.so.0 is needed by package subversion

We only need mysql, perl, php and httpd in this server.I've enabled 'updates','extras','centosplus', 'rpmforge' etc. repositories but doesnt help.

Any further hints in this regard ?

1st be careful mixing 3rd party repos, you can get in a world of hurt that way.

Try "yum update yum" first and then try 'yum update' again(a good place to start anytime you are behind on updates). This may or may not help.

One possible problem is that you have mixed two third party repos that are not compatible(not as common as it used to be, but it still happens). Another is that you are so far behind that yum is lost. You can try yum updating a few of the apps you listed first, just to give yum a running start.

One thing to keep in mind when running a packaged distro is that there is no such thing as just a few packages you need. Packages have dependencies, and those dependencies often have dependencies. Also there may be system critical components that rely on some of those same dependencies. So changing one package may seem simple but one may have to update half the system just to update that one package (extreme example). Think of it as replacing just one line in a fishing net. This is why yum (generally) is superior to rpm(the tool not the package). It is also why it is such a pita when yum is being pissy.
