Help to install ImageMagick

[Claudio]

I want to get work gif avatars on my forum..so I need some help to install all the neccesary modules on CENTOS to make work ImageMagick

I´ve tried with those instructions:
http://imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php#unix
but I can´t select ImageMagick option on XF admin panel

 

[ChemicalKicks]

Did you restart php/Apache?

 

[Claudio]

yes,

 

[Claudio]

I´m using APC...could be that?

No mate, I managed to get it to work and I'm running APC.

Let me see if I can find the instructions I used.

 

[ChemicalKicks]

Try this.

Just realised you're centos and I'm running Ubuntu however these instructions look legit.

I've installed it via Centos. I presume you have root access, type in 'whereis convert' into the shell and it'll tell you where it is.

It sometimes installs into /usr/local/bin/ rather than /usr/bin

i.e.

[root@vorlon ~]# whereis convert
convert: /usr/local/bin/convert

if you type 'convert --version' into the shell you should see something like this:

[root@vorlon ~]# convert --version
Version: ImageMagick 6.7.0-8 2011-06-17 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

Try this then try restarting php/apache

yum install ImageMagick
yum install ImageMagick-devel
yum install php-pear
pecl install imagick

Did you do "yum install ImageMagick-devel"

 

[ChemicalKicks]

Check the comments of this http://robshouse.net/page/configure-error-pecl-memcache-ubuntu you're exact problem us described!

thanks guys, you saved my life.
i was trying to install imagick pecl extension via
pecl install imagick
and faced
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
the following method solved the problem like a charm.
mount -o,remount,rw,exec /var/tmp
And when you're done, set it back:
mount -o,remount,rw,noexec /var/tmp
thank you all .

 

[Claudio]

Did you do "yum install ImageMagick-devel"

Thank you!

Steps realized:

yum install ImageMagick
yum install ImageMagick-devel
yum install php-pear
mount -o,remount,rw,exec /var/tmp
pecl install imagick
mount -o,remount,rw,noexec /var/tmp

Thank you both

 

[ChemicalKicks]

heh glad it's sorted!

You don't need the devel or pear packages, that is a crazy setup procedure. The clean and simple way to get ImageMagick working for Xenforo:

# yum --enablerepo=axivo install ImageMagick php-pecl-imagick

The RPM is available into Redhat5 repo, for now. We are updating soon the Redhat6 repo, once the current projects clear.

1st: rpm -ivh --nosignature http://rpm.axivo.com/redhat/axivo-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
2nd: yum --enablerepo=axivo install ImageMagick php-pecl-imagick

Still imagick is not yet installed?

how you confirming if it is or is not installed ? have you checked phpinfo output ?

 

[rdn]

Yes I have check, It's not there.

You're not using Centmin Mod by any chance ? If you are just run menu option #15 to install it although by default ImagicK should already be installed with latest versions of Centmin Mod.
