imagemagick is not working

[Iñaki Agirrezabala]

Hi!

I have installed the imagemagick software for HP-UX 11 from hpux.connect.
At first, I get a message about a dynamic library called /opt/freetype/lib/libfreetype.sl that is not in place and therefore imagemagick is not working. Then I find a freetype library, also in hpux.connect, and install it in my system ( freetype version 1.3.1).
Unfortunately, it does not work still because this freetype library does't have a libfreetype.sl file anywhere, but it has a libttf.sl file.

My question is: Is there any way to make imagemagick work with the libttf.sl file? If no, how can I get the required library?

Thanks in advance,

I?aki Agirrezabala

Probably not, I think all your problems are related to not installing ALL the required dependancies :

fyi libfreetype.sl can be found at : http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Development/Libraries/freetype-2.0.4/

Also re-read the dependancies section at :
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/X11/Viewers/ImageMagick-5.3.6/
you may need to install more libs to get imagemagick to work depending on what you have or haven't installed already.

Hi Alex!

Thanks for your help.

I had an out of date version of freetype. ImageMagick needed version 2 and I had 1.3.
Every other dependencies seem to be correctly installed.
But still it does not work!!!! :-(
Freetype 2 has been installed in /opt/freetype2 when imagemagick is expecting the library in /opt/freetype. I have tried to rename the directory, imagemagick now gives no error, but it hangs somewhere and does not even return the system prompt.

I hope there's a way to tell imagemagick to search in other directory? Or can I install somehow freetype in /opt/freetype finally?

Thanks in advance
