MagickWand
MagickWand is a wrapper around imagemagick (convert, compose etc) and ghostscript (gs) that lets PHP developers manipulate PNG, GIF or JPEG images or PDF files !installation
Installation of magickwand is almost impossible in CentOS, OEL or RHEL but here's how i did it and how i fixed these errors:PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/magickwand.so' - libMagickWand.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: fileinfo: Unable to initialize module Module compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread-safety=0 PHP compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0 These options need to match in Unknown on line 0
uninstall old versions of ImageMagick
MagickWand needs ImageMagick version 6.3.5 or greater so will not work with ImageMagick 6.2.8 that is packaged with CentOS so you must uninstall that one# yum remove php-pecl-Fileinfo. # yum remove ImageMagick* # yum install php # yum install php-devel
Get ImageMagick 6.5.5+
Get ImageMagick sourcecode from tar$ wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz $ tar zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
or from svn if you need an older version such as 6.5.5
$ svn co https://www.imagemagick.org/subversion/ImageMagick/branches/ImageMagick-6.5.5/ ImageMagick
Configure and compile ImageMagick 6.5.5+
Configure and compile ImageMagick 6.5.5+$ cd ImageMagick $ ./configure $ make $ su # make install # exit $
should install convert, composite etc utilities into
/usr/local/bin
instead of the CentOS package default of
/usr/bin
This is the only way to create the all important
Magick-config Magick++-config MagickCore-config MagickWand-config
utilities that you need to prevent getting the error
Cannot locate configuration program MagickWand-config
in the next phase of the process
Configure and compile MagickWand
Configure and compile MagickWand 1.0.7$ wget http://www.magickwand.org/download/php/MagickWandForPHP-1.0.7.tar.gz $ tar zxvf MagickWandForPHP-1.0.7.tar.gz
$ cd MagickWand $ phpize $ ./configure $ make $ su # make install or # cp modules/magickwand.so /usr/lib/php/modules or # cp modules/magickwand.so /usr/lib64/php/modules/ # vi /etc/php.ini
and add
extension=magickwand.so
restart apache httpd with magickwand module
# service httpd restart # exit $
tips
sometimes yum remove doesnt work properly and leaves old (now broken) imagemagick convert binarys around$ convert -version convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ /usr/local/bin/convert -version Version: ImageMagick 6.5.7-7 2009-11-13 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 ImageMagick Studio LLC Features: OpenMP
you'll need to manually delete all the old imagemagick binarys from /usr/bin
