I got the following output, and am not sure what to make of it, when running make check on our SUSE linux machines. ImageMagick tells me to report this. It is dumping core during the "make check" phase. Stack trace and listing is below as well. I'd like this to work properly as I'm install...

I see the problem. It looks like version 6.6.8 wants a newer version of ghostscript, and fails with the old version. Version 6.4.9 seems ok with the older ghostcript. Mystery solved.
Thanks!

Thanks!

I notice that 6.4.9 sets --with-gslib=yes, but the configure script for 6.6.8 sets --with-gslib=no. This is on the same machine. I tried configuring version 6.6.8 with --with-gslib=yes, and installing even though "make check" fails. I now see this: rcook@edge84 (ImageMagick-6.6.8-4): conve...

Forgot one detail. So after configuring version 6.6.8 with --with-gslib=yes, and installing even though "make check" fails, I now see this: rcook@edge84 (ImageMagick-6.6.8-4): convert -list configure | grep DELEG DELEGATES bzlib fftw fontconfig freetype gs gvc jpeg jng jp2 lcms mpeg png rs...

If you installed from source, then you probably need to install Ghostscript and then re-install IM type the following convert -list configure look at the line starting with DELEGATES. See if it includes gs. Interesting, so gs is not in delegates for 6.6.8, but is for 6.4.9. I'm compiling with the s...

Since lots of people have read this but none are replying, I'm moving it to the Bugs forum. Thanks

I just installed version 6.6.8-4 on our linux (RHEL 5) compute nodes and it seems to have a bug in converting postscript *.ps files. Other conversions seem to work fine, and all 48 tests passed when I ran "make check." However, while convert will convert from gif to ps, it will not convert...

I just installed version 6.6.8-4 on our linux (RHEL 5) compute nodes. It seemed to work fine, and all 48 tests passed when I ran "make check." However, while convert will convert from gif to ps, it will not convert the other way: rcook@edge83 (dataAndImages): convert paper.ps paper.gif CRI...

Yes, thanks! It works now on all our machines, including AIX, RHEL5, and SuSE SLES 9.
I notice the ImageMagick page says the latest release is 6.5.8, but the latest I actually saw on the mirrors was 6.5.7-10 as you said. Things move fast around here, I guess!

He might not be able to, but I'm seeing the same error on every machine. All you have to do is type
convert -list
and you get that error. Or I do. This is on RedHat Enterprise Linux 2.6 kernel.

I have posted this everywhere else and cannot find an answer, therefore, I assume it's a bug. :-) I'm singling out TIFF support because the downloadable binaries do not include TIFF support, last I checked. The problem: Nothing works! :-) I successfully compiled ImageMagick 6.3.4 (among other versio...

I sure do. If you look closely at the output of the LIBS variable in the .la file, you can see that ImageMagick put -ltiff there, and the DELEGATES variable includes "tiff." I checked config.log and it seemed to find tiff ok with all tests passed. Here is some select output from the config...

Lucky me! 226 views and two weeks later -- nobody has a clue or nobody cares!

I posted a few days ago about a build problem I'm having on AIX with ImageMagick -- nobody has replied. I'm wondering, is anyone out there able to compile and use ImageMagick on AIX? The precompiled binaries are not great for us because we need TIFF support.
