ImageMagick error

Question

When trying to run ImageMagick via node-imagemagick on my Grunt task, i get this error from ImageMagick:

Warning: Command failed: identify: unable to load

Answer 1

ImageMagick's module dependencies are out of date by the systems upgrade. You'll need to re-install homebrew packages. See this articles "Upgrading homebrew packages on OSX Mavericks", or "Install ImageMagicK on OSX Lion."

Why is ImageMagick trying to load JPG coder at /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.8-9/lib/ImageMagick//modules-Q16/coders/jpeg.la

ImageMagick is expecting a static library for JPEG. The module is simply not there, or unreadable.

Why the double slash after ImageMagick// ?

This is common with homebrew. It's safe, and will resolve to ImageMagick/.

... know a way to fix it?

Run the followin in Terminal.app

brew uninstall imagemagick
brew update
brew cleanup
brew doctor
brew install imagemagick
