There doesn't seem to be a configure file. Have you read the INSTALL file? What does it tell you?
Any particular reason why you don't just install the imagemagick package?

INSTALL file is empty. I've installed imagemagick. But i need Imagick too.

jdkaye · 05-03-2009, 02:10 AM

Isn't imagick-2.3.0RC1.tgz a perl package? Don't you need to use the perl installation procedure (whatever that is

)

linux0 · 05-03-2009, 02:28 AM

So which procedure do i use for install it?

Google is your friend. At some point you'll need to be able to look things up yourself and not rely on others to do this for you.
http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html
As far as I'm concerned, you're on your own now. You should be able to do the rest without further help.
ciao,
jdk

Correct. But imagick is not a Perl module, but a PHP extension. The starting point for a search should not be google but the developer's site. linux0, check the documentation here. There are three different methods for installation. The easy way is to install pecl, which takes care of downloading and installing the extension for you.

You're quite correct, Colucix. Mea culpa. I misread a "c" as an "r". I found this site:
http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/download/2.3.0RC1/

Anyway, I think my point was correct.
Ciao,

Yes, I agree. The problem is that a Linux newbie must learn to find documentation. One of the first things I teach when explaining linux to someone is to read the manual pages, to look for the official documentation and to read carefully the error messages. But I notice that most of them are really annoyed when they have to read something (especially if it is longer than 10 lines of text)!

Ciao.
