Installing RMagick 2 on CentOS/RHEL 5 it’s not that hard, you just need to install ImageMagick newer than 6.3.5 (CentOS/RHEL 5 is shipping ImageMagick 6.2.8) and that’s the hardest part of the job.
[root@silver ~]# gem install rmagick Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing rmagick: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb checking for Ruby version >= 1.8.5... yes checking for gcc... yes checking for Magick-config... yes checking for ImageMagick version >= 6.3.5... no Can't install RMagick 2.12.2. You must have ImageMagick 6.3.5 or later.
I’ve tried to avoid ImageMagick upgrade and to install RMagick 1, but RMagick 1 failed to install with a strange compile error, probably because the gcc compliler shipped with CentOS/RHEL 5 is too new for version 1.
I didn’t wanted to patch RMagick 1, neither to install from sources (I do prefer RPM packages). So, I’ve decided to upgrade ImageMagick library to satisfy RMagick 2 requirements.
Subscribe your system to the following repositories:
Install the following packages:
[root@silver ~]# yum --enablerepo=epel --enablerepo=rpmforge --enablerepo=centosplus install djvulibre-devel libwmf-devel jasper-devel libtool-ltdl-devel librsvg2-devel openexr-devel graphviz-devel gcc gcc-c++ ghostscript freetype-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel giflib-devel libwmf-devel libexif-devel libtiff-devel
Add “–noplugins” if you are using “yum-priorities”, or it will fail to install packages.
Download ImageMagick.spec to your SPECS directory and ImageMagick-6.5.7-0.tar.bz2 to SOURCES directory and then rebuild the rpm using rpmbuild:
[root@silver SPECS]# rpmbuild -ba ImageMagick.spec [...]
Or just grab the source RPM from here:
http://red.penguin.ro/SRPMS/ImageMagick-6.5.7-0.src.rpm
and build it:
[root@silver ~]# rpmbuild --rebuild ImageMagick-6.5.7-0.src.rpm Installing ImageMagick-6.5.7-0.src.rpm warning: user vitalie does not exist - using root warning: group vitalie does not exist - using root warning: user vitalie does not exist - using root warning: group vitalie does not exist - using root Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /home/worf/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.11936 + umask 022 + cd /home/worf/rpmbuild/BUILD + LANG=C + export LANG + unset DISPLAY + cd /home/worf/rpmbuild/BUILD + rm -rf ImageMagick-6.5.7-0 + /usr/bin/bzip2 -dc /home/worf/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ImageMagick-6.5.7-0.tar.bz2 + tar -xf - [...] Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 Requires: /bin/sh ImageMagick-c++ = 6.5.7-0 ImageMagick-devel = 6.5.7-0 libMagick++.so.2()(64bit) Processing files: ImageMagick-debuginfo-6.5.7-0 Provides: Magick.so.debug()(64bit) analyze.so.debug()(64bit) art.so.debug()(64bit) avi.so.debug()(64bit) avs.so.debug()(64bit) bmp.so.debug()(64bit) braille.so.debug()(64bit) cals.so.debug()(64bit) caption.so.debug()(64bit) cin.so.debug()(64bit) cip.so.debug()(64bit) clip.so.debug()(64bit) cmyk.so.debug()(64bit) cut.so.debug()(64bit) dcm.so.debug()(64bit) dds.so.debug()(64bit) dib.so.debug()(64bit) djvu.so.debug()(64bit) dng.so.debug()(64bit) dot.so.debug()(64bit) dpx.so.debug()(64bit) ept.so.debug()(64bit) fax.so.debug()(64bit) fits.so.debug()(64bit) gif.so.debug()(64bit) gradient.so.debug()(64bit) gray.so.debug()(64bit) hald.so.debug()(64bit) histogram.so.debug()(64bit) hrz.so.debug()(64bit) html.so.debug()(64bit) icon.so.debug()(64bit) info.so.debug()(64bit) inline.so.debug()(64bit) ipl.so.debug()(64bit) jp2.so.debug()(64bit) jpeg.so.debug()(64bit) label.so.debug()(64bit) libMagick++.so.2.0.0.debug()(64bit) libMagickCore.so.2.0.0.debug()(64bit) libMagickWand.so.2.0.0.debug()(64bit) magick.so.debug()(64bit) map.so.debug()(64bit) mat.so.debug()(64bit) matte.so.debug()(64bit) meta.so.debug()(64bit) miff.so.debug()(64bit) mono.so.debug()(64bit) mpc.so.debug()(64bit) mpeg.so.debug()(64bit) mpr.so.debug()(64bit) msl.so.debug()(64bit) mtv.so.debug()(64bit) mvg.so.debug()(64bit) null.so.debug()(64bit) otb.so.debug()(64bit) palm.so.debug()(64bit) pattern.so.debug()(64bit) pcd.so.debug()(64bit) pcl.so.debug()(64bit) pcx.so.debug()(64bit) pdb.so.debug()(64bit) pdf.so.debug()(64bit) pict.so.debug()(64bit) pix.so.debug()(64bit) plasma.so.debug()(64bit) png.so.debug()(64bit) pnm.so.debug()(64bit) preview.so.debug()(64bit) ps.so.debug()(64bit) ps2.so.debug()(64bit) ps3.so.debug()(64bit) psd.so.debug()(64bit) pwp.so.debug()(64bit) raw.so.debug()(64bit) rgb.so.debug()(64bit) rla.so.debug()(64bit) rle.so.debug()(64bit) scr.so.debug()(64bit) sct.so.debug()(64bit) sfw.so.debug()(64bit) sgi.so.debug()(64bit) stegano.so.debug()(64bit) sun.so.debug()(64bit) svg.so.debug()(64bit) tga.so.debug()(64bit) thumbnail.so.debug()(64bit) tiff.so.debug()(64bit) tile.so.debug()(64bit) tim.so.debug()(64bit) ttf.so.debug()(64bit) txt.so.debug()(64bit) uil.so.debug()(64bit) url.so.debug()(64bit) uyvy.so.debug()(64bit) vicar.so.debug()(64bit) vid.so.debug()(64bit) viff.so.debug()(64bit) wbmp.so.debug()(64bit) wmf.so.debug()(64bit) wpg.so.debug()(64bit) x.so.debug()(64bit) xbm.so.debug()(64bit) xc.so.debug()(64bit) xcf.so.debug()(64bit) xpm.so.debug()(64bit) xps.so.debug()(64bit) xwd.so.debug()(64bit) ycbcr.so.debug()(64bit) yuv.so.debug()(64bit) Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /home/worf/rpmbuild/tmp/ImageMagick-6.5.7-0-root-root Wrote: /home/worf/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ImageMagick-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/worf/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ImageMagick-devel-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/worf/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ImageMagick-doc-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/worf/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ImageMagick-perl-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/worf/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ImageMagick-c++-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/worf/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ImageMagick-c++-devel-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/worf/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ImageMagick-debuginfo-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm Executing(%clean): /bin/sh -e /home/worf/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.25482 + umask 022 + cd /home/worf/rpmbuild/BUILD + cd ImageMagick-6.5.7-0 + rm -rf /home/worf/rpmbuild/tmp/ImageMagick-6.5.7-0-root-root + exit 0 Executing(--clean): /bin/sh -e /home/worf/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.25482 + umask 022 + cd /home/worf/rpmbuild/BUILD + rm -rf ImageMagick-6.5.7-0 + exit 0
Uninstall i386 ImageMagick libraries if you are on x86_64 system:
[root@silver ~]# rpm -qa | grep ImageMagick | grep -i i386 | xargs rpm -e
Install the new RPMs compiled in the previous steps:
[root@silver x86_64]# rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm ImageMagick-c++-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm ImageMagick-c++-devel-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm ImageMagick-devel-6.5.7-0.x86_64.rpm
Finally, install the RMagick 2 plugin:
[root@silver ~]# gem install rmagick --no-rdoc --no-ri Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed rmagick-2.12.2 1 gem installed
