An old version of ImageMagick is referenced in the install_im.sh which prevents the install from working:
ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.7.1-10.tar.gz

Correcting it to the latest version worked for me:
ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.7.4-1.tar.gz

Getting the following error when trying to run the script:

ls: libpng-1.2.40.tar.gz: No such file or directory
Failed download: ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/libpng/png/src/libpng-1.2.40.tar.gz, size: B, aborting.

try_download ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/libpng/png/src/libpng-1.5.9.tar.gz

the link is not working !!

Version 7 has been removed from the download site.

FYI I got this error with the script:

make[1]: *** [magick/libMagickCore.la] Error 1

and to fix it I had to add a:

--without-fontconfig

switch to the IMAGEMAGICK_ARGUMENTS line. It works for now, but I assume that I shouldn't have to do that. Any idea what might be wrong?

Rather than targeting specific versions of ImageMagick, why not change the try_download URL to

ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz

which always points to the latest version? That way the script won't fail as often.

I was using ImageMagick in connection with Grand Central Dispatch and had crashes until I disabled OpenMP by adding --disable-openmp to the ImageMagick configure flags.

Problems with OpenMP can also manifest themselves in other ways as can be seen at:

Seems to be a ghostscript.com problem. But this source should be more reliable:

http://ghostscript.googlecode.com/files/ghostscript-8.70.tar.gz

Obviously, the 6.6.3-3 version has been removed from the FTP, the new version is:

ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.6.3-7.tar.gz

Replacing this in the install_im.sh script at the corresponding try_download line worked for me. Sorry I don't supply a direct patch, I just don't have the time to fork and update. Should be a simple fix though :)

How to uninstall this imagemagick?

Thanks for the script..

try_download ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/libpng/png/src/libpng-1.4.5.tar.gz #does not work

try_download ftp://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/pub/GraphicsMagick/delegates/libpng-1.4.7.tar.gz #works for me

Greetings Werner

Install exits with error.

Many thanks, for the script!

There have been a couple of link or version changes.

FIX: ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/libpng/png/src/libpng-1.4.2.tar.gz
cd libpng-1.4.2

The cd commands
cd libpng-1.4.2
and
cd ImageMagick-6.6.2-4
need updating.

The URL for tiff-3.9.4.tar.gz seems to be out of date. There's a working version at

http://download.osgeo.org/libtiff/tiff-3.9.4.tar.gz

Hi,

I get the following error in some ImageMagick commands:

Magick::ImageMagickError: Wrong JPEG library version: library is 70, caller expects 62 `' @ jpeg.c/EmitMessage/232

Can you please advice?

Thanks
Nico
