Problem with convert

Post by elcorazon »

I installed Imagemagick on a Raq 2 running linux and during installation i got some warnings about certain programs not being on the server. Now when I try to run convert on a .jpg image I get the following error:

[spimaster UserFiles]$ convert 1170172803.jpg -resize 225x339! new.jpg
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `1170172803.jpg'.
convert: missing an image filename `new.jpg'.
[spimaster UserFiles]$

Is there a way of finding out what is missing (ie the decode delegate) and installing it?


On the off chance I tried the same above without the -resize 225x339! and used new.gif as the destination and got the same style error.

Do you have ImageMagick compiled with the JPG library? (eg. libjpeg)
