ImageMagick on Fedora

[sedawk]

Hi,

When I tried to use Image::Magick, I got this message:

Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.so' for module Image::Magick: libMagickCore.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
at demo.pl line 5
Compilation failed in require at demo.pl line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at demo.pl line 5.

Both Magick.so and Dynaloader.pm are there. What is wrong?

Check the permissions.

No, I was the root though I don't think I need root to use this package. So permission is not a problem.

Did you install Image::Magick through yum or did you do it manually? And what version of Fedora are you running?

If you installed ImageMagick (the program) and ImageMagick-perl both from your Fedora yum repositories, they should be of the right versions to work together properly. Problems can arise if you i.e. install your Fedora's version of ImageMagick from yum but manually install perlmagick, because perlmagick might be newer and expects a newer SO file than what Fedora's ImageMagick RPM had installed, or vice versa.

I downloaded ImageMagick and un-tar/make/make install. I didn't use yum to install it. I am using Fedora 7.

In terms of versions, I use whatever shown on ImageMagick's website. Do you mean there is mismatch between versions? The thing is I didn't see anything unusual during installation.

 

[Kirsle]

In that case it might be possible that Perl's Image::Magick was compiled using the headers of a different version of ImageMagick... did you "perl Makefile.PL/make/make test/make install" the Perl module too, or did you install that via yum or rpm? If you installed it manually, try reinstalling it so it'll be recompiled using whatever version of ImageMagick is installed. If you installed ImageMagick manually but installed Perlmagick via RPM or yum, or vice versa, that's where problems tend to come from.

I don't understand: I tried yum and manual installation. But the same message.

Kirsle,
How do you use ImageMagick-Perl after you yum install?

 

[Kirsle]

ImageMagick-perl installs the Perl module, so you just "use Image::Magick;"
