I'm having a terrible time trying to get a recent version of ImageMagick installed on a CentOS 6.3 x86_64 server. First, I downloaded the RPM from the ImageMagick site and tried to install it. That failed due to missing dependencies:
error: Failed dependencies:
libHalf.so.4()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.8.0-4.x86_64
libIex.so.4()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.8.0-4.x86_64
libIlmImf.so.4()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.8.0-4.x86_64
libImath.so.4()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.8.0-4.x86_64
libltdl.so.3()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.8.0-4.x86_64
I have libtool-ltdl
installed, but that includes libltdl.so.7
, not libltdl.so.4
. I have a similar problem with libHalf
, libIex
, libIlmImf
and libImath
. Typically, you can install OpenEXR to get those dependencies. Unfortunately, CentOS 6.3 includes OpenEXR 1.6.1, which includes ilmbase-devel 1.0.1. And that release of ilmbase-devel includes newer versions of those dependencies:
libHalf.so.6
libIex.so.6
libIlmImf.so.6
libImath.so.6
I next tried following the instructions for installing ImageMagick from source. No luck there either. I get a build error:
RPM build errors:
File not found by glob: /home/sean/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/ImageMagick-6.8.0-4.x86_64/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.8.0/modules-Q16/coders/djvu.*
I even re-ran configure
to explicitly exclude djvu and I still get the same error. At this point, I'm pulling my hair out.
What's the easiest way to get a relatively recent version of ImageMagick (> 6.7) installed on CentOS 6.3? Does someone offer RPMs with dependencies somewhere?
