HI Mikko,

I have problem installing virtuoso with imagemagick on ubuntu
2.6.15-26-amd64-generic.
Imagick is found, but not working properly.
Following the instructions at
http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VOSBldIMG I get
following error from configure:
checking if ImageMagick lib usability... bad

It might have something to do with the build parameters of my
imagemagick deb. Any ideas?


If you are running ubuntu, you do not need to compile the ImageMagick package yourself, as you can simply use apt-get install to get the right libraries as root:

   # apt-get install libmagick9-dev

This should install the libraries and header files of the ImageMagick package onto your system. You can check that by using:

   # Wand-config --version

which returns 6.2.4 on my system.

Please note there is a small problem in the configure.in in the top virtuoso-opensource directory, which i will fix in the next build of VOS. We use the Magick-config tool in several places to return the libraries we need to link with, but on this older version of ImageMagick we actually need to use the Wand-config tool to get the right set of libraries. Please edit configure.in and around lines 1271 and 1276 you will find a call to Magick-config, which you can replace with Wand-config and save it. Then you have to regenerate the configure script using the following command:

  $ sh autogen.sh

and then rerun the configure command

  $ ./configure

If configure still thinks your ImageMagick installation is bad, you can check the config.log file which should detail exactly what the problem is. In case you need assistance you can send this file directly to me: vos.ad...@openlinksw.com

Let me know how you get along.


Best regards,

Patrick
