Difficulties with IM after Ubuntu upgrade

[Claus Cyrny]

Hi all,

after my difficulties with IM 6.5.8.10, I was
hoping that this issue would be resolved after
the upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04, but the problem
still persists.

When trying to perform 'display [file]', I am
getting:

display: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `delegates.xml' @
configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/589.
display: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `sandrin_karte.jpg' @
constitute.c/ReadImage/531.
display: UnableToOpenBlob `logo:':
^?? @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2481.

Does anyone have an idea what's the matter here
& how I can solve this problem? I really would like
to be able to use IM again.

TIA,

Claus

Did you install from source or a binary?

If from source, did you install all the delegates that you wanted,
such as jpg, before compiling IM?

can you do:

convert logo: logo.jpg

If not, then you don't have the delegates or they are in the wrong
locations for your new install?

Ahem, I have to admit that I messed it up a bit, because
(it was sometime last year) at first I had still an older version
of IM, and after reading about the new FFT feature, I made
the mistake to try to compile a newer version (from source) in
addition to having the old version on my system. I created a new
directory (I think in /usr/share) and compiled (or at least tried to)
the newer version there. When this apparently didn't work, I deleted
the new directory again, but since then I got those error messages.

No, I am getting

convert: UnableToOpenBlob `logo:': @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2481.
convert: MissingAnImageFilename `logo.jpg' @
convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2838.

Interesting: I have been getting this after uninstalling my present
IM 6.5.8-10 (I had forgotten that I uninstalled it. I now installed it
again from the Ubuntu sources, butI am still getting this error message,
like

display: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `delegates.xml' @
configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/589.
display: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `sandrin_karte.jpg' @
constitute.c/ReadImage/531.

Do you mean 'delegates.xml'? Where is this supposed to
be located?

Could it be that I have some files from my unsuccessful compilation
somewhere, and that I would have to delete them first? Where could
I look after those files?

TIA,

Claus

ImageMagick cannot find its configuration files or they exist but you
do not have permission to read them. Type

convert -debug configure logo: null:

The debugging output tells you where ImageMagick is looking for its
configuration files.

Hi all,

just very short: Does anybody know how to do a clean
IM new install, in order to get rid of outdated files, etc.?
I still can't work with my present 6.5.8-10 install,
( at /usr/lib there are still some files from 6.5.7).
Would it be sufficient to perform an 'apt-get remove'
& delete the files at /usr/lib by hand?

TIA,

Claus

I have a set of removes to clean our all standard installs regardless
of any package managemant (they sometimes don't clean up absolutely
everything.

See the bottom of IM Examples, API, Building
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/api/#building

Specifically...
rm -rf /usr/lib/ImageMagick-*
rm -rf /usr/lib/lib{Magick,Wand}*
rm -rf /usr/share/ImageMagick-*
rm -rf /usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-*
rm -rf /usr/include/{ImageMagick,Magick++,magick,wand}
rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/*/i386-linux-thread-multi/Image/Magick*
rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/*/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Image/Magick*
rm -rf /usr/share/man/man?/*Magick*
rm -f /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ImageMagick.pc

Hi Anthony,

many thanks for your response. I will check out the
resource below, and I'm really looking forward to
working with IM again. Imho, it's much underrated.

TIA,

Claus

rm -f /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ImageMagick.pc

I put those commands into a shell script & uninstalled IM via 'apt-get',
but I am still
getting the following error messages:

***@ubuntu:~/Linux/scripts$ display Grafik/sandrin_karte.jpg
display: UnableToOpenBlob `Grafik/sandrin_karte.jpg': ?$?? @
blob.c/OpenBlob/2481.
display: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `delegates.xml' @
configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/589.
display: UnableToOpenBlob `logo:': lob/2481 @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2481.

What could be the reason for this, and how can I get IM to work again?

TIA,

Claus
