Installing ImageMagick

From Dev411: The Code Wiki

Here are the steps to install ImageMagick on a Linux system with Perl

Download the sources

You'll need the source for ImageMagick and any additional delegate libraries for features you'll want to use. The URL's for all the ImageMagick delegates is included in the README.txt file, however, for convenience the links for JPEG and PNG are below.

• ImageMagick (http://sourceforge.net/projects/imagemagick)
• JPEG library (ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz)
• libpng and zlib libraries (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngcode.html)

Installation

You'll want to install the delegate libraries first. The following commands should be run from the directory the source tarball extraction created. It doesn't matter what directory you install the Image::Magick Perl module from.

JPEG library

 ./configure --enable-shared
 make
 make test
 make install
 make clean

zlib library

 ./configure -s
 make
 make test
 make install
 make clean

PNG library

 cp /scripts/makefile.linux ./makefile
 make

 make install
 make clean

ImageMagick

 ./configure --enable-shared=yes --with-perl=/usr/local/bin/perl
   --with-jpeg=yes --with-zlib=yes --with-png=yes
 make
 make install
