I've created this how-to for those like me who may have scripts that require the imagick extension in PHP.

I use Gpan's PHP RPMS. Those of you who use them know he no longer includes imagick.

Installing is very simple, we will compile imagick from source. The binary phpize is required to build from source, if you do not have it, simply install php-devel RPM from your repository.

If you update php, you will probably need to re-compile this module.

Here goes:

CODE

wget [url="http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-0.9.11.tgz"]http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-0.9.11.tgz[/url]

tar -zxvf imagick-0.9.11.tgz

cd imagick-0.9.11

phpize

./configure --with-imagick

make

make install

Add the following line to your php.ini (remember to make a backup!)

CODE

extension=imagick.so

Restart Apache and your done!

Tested with PHP 5.0.4 with ImageMagick 5.5.6

Server said: -bash: phpize: command not found

I believe you need to install php-devel

Ok, installed PHP-dev no prob, but when following above I got the following after running the config command:

checking for ImageMagick in default path... not found
configure: error: Please reinstall the ImageMagick distribution -
magick.h should be in /include/magick/

Thanks in advance,

Do you have ImageMagick installed?

Type:

whereis ImageMagick

If it returns a path, in the configure command, type this:

./configure --with-imagick=/path/to/ImageMagick

If it does not return a path, check to see if its installed (via RPM)

rpm -q ImageMagick

If nothing is returned, you need to install that first.

I am having the same problem as the previous poster.

whereis ImageMagick returns:
/usr/share/ImageMagick

running ./configure --with-imagick=/usr/share/ImageMagick returns:

configure: error: Please reinstall the ImageMagick distribution -
magick.h should be in /include/magick/

rpm -q ImageMagick returns:
ImageMagick-5.5.6-18

Is there a source package available for ImageMagick?

Thanks,

Fred

I sovled my above problem by installing the ImageMagick-devel package with:

up2date ImageMagick-devel
