ImageMagick and OS X Lion trouble

Question

[edit] I was troubleshooting problems with my development environment when I noticed one of my problems was the dependency on ImageMagick, since it\'s a vit

Answer 1

If you're using Homebrew, try the following command:

brew doctor

to diagnose the common problems.

One of it could be to remove DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH variable from your ~/.profile if you have it.

Or you have to re-install libtool by:

brew reinstall libtool --universal && brew unlink libtool && brew link libtool

Answer 2

The same problem might occur with OSX Mountain Lion (preview 4). I had to configure some parts separately because there are some library incompatibilities:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.8.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/convert
  Reason: Incompatible library version: convert requires version 13.0.0 or later, but libjpeg.8.dylib provides version 9.0.0

I had to add --with-fontconfig=no, --with-lzma=no and use /opt/local/share/... instead of /usr/local/share/... for the ghostscript fonts:

cd /tmp
curl -OL ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar -xzf ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-6.7.8-0/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static --with-modules --without-perl --without-magick-plus-plus --with-quantum-depth=8 --disable-openmp --with-fontconfig=no --with-gs-font-dir=/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts --with-lzma=no
make
sudo make install

Answer 3

I could fix the ImageMagick problem by installing corresponding package from cactuslab site.

Then by setting the PATH variables in terminal:

export MAGICK_HOME="/usr/local/ImageMagick/"
export PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MAGICK_HOME/lib/"

Answer 4

For 10.7.8 and up, you have to install the php version and not the pecl version. Depending on your version of php you've install with Macports you can either do:

sudo port install php-imagick

sudo port install php5-imagick

sudo port install php53-imagick

sudo port install php54-imagick

Remember only to do the one of your current version of php.

Answer 5

On 10.8 I solved this issue with:

brew install libtool --universal
brew link libtool

If you don't know what brew is, visit https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew and its wiki.

Answer 6

I also upgraded to Lion and lost ImageMagick, although i'm getting different errors.

i found a Lion distribution on imagemagick.org. not a big fan of the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable but it works.

ok scratch that. i just downloaded the ImageMagick source and re-compiled:

cd /tmp
curl -OL ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar -xzf ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-6.7.2-7/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static --with-modules --without-perl --without-magick-plus-plus --with-quantum-depth=8 --disable-openmp --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts
make
sudo make install
