Convert not working after install on PowerPC Mac

[meltemi]

I just went through the "painful" process of installing ImageMagick and all it's dependencies on a PowerPC Mac (OS X Server 10.5..

Now trying to see if convert will work I run it and it hangs.

$ convert test-image.jpg test-image.png

hangs

read through these forums a bit and tried it with the -debug all flag set and got a ton of output but at the end it looks like this:

Application built with libpng-1.2.26 but running with 1.5.2 `test-image.png'

It hangs right after that last Memory line. Anyone know what is going on? Yes, I downloaded and installed libpng-1.5.2 into /usr/local (or at least that's what I had tried to do) before downloading and installing ImageMagick with these arguments: IMAGEMAGICK_ARGUMENTS="--disable-static --with-modules --without-perl --without-magick-plus-plus --with-quantum-depth=8 --disable-openmp"

[fmw42]

did you install from binary or from source?

what happens when you type:

convert -version

what do you get for

convert -list configure

Look on the line DELEGATES and see what is there for png, jpg, etc


how about

convert logo: logo.gif

does that work?

I am running on IM 6.6.9.9 Q16 Mac OSX Tiger PowerPC G4 Mac mini and am not having any problem.

[meltemi]

I installed from source. wasn't aware of any PowerPC Mac binary.

$ ls

It would appear as though this works when converting to .gif but not to .png... and maybe i'm using it wrong but resizing doesn't appear to work either.

[fmw42]

try

convert logo: logo.jpg
convert logo: logo.png
convert logo: logo.tif

then

convert logo.png logo2.jpg
convert logo.jpg logo2.png
convert logo.tif logo.png

If all those work, then

try

convert logo: -resize 50% logo2.png

[meltemi]

thanks. so tried each command you listed. everything works except when converting to/from .png. going to/from jpg and/or tif works just fine. Something is, clearly, wrong with png.

libpng was installed before ImageMagick:

$ libpng-config --version
1.5.2

any clue what's going on & how to get png working?

[fmw42]

try uninstalling libpng and re-installing an older version of libpng. Then re-install IM

mine is currently


libpng-config --version
1.4.5

P.S. I had installed all my delegates via MacPorts, but then I installed IM manually so that I could update it more frequently.

[meltemi]

OK. tried it with libpng-1.4.7 and same problem... for some reason ImageMagick is throwing warnings:

..."Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.26"
and
...libpng-1.2.26 warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.4.7

if you look back at beginning of this thread they're basically the same except replace "1.4.7" with "1.5.2". Where is ImageMagick getting its reference to libpng-1.2.26?

$ which libpng-config
/usr/local/bin/libpng-config

$ libpng-config --version
1.4.7

try

find /usr | grep "png.h"

and see how many you find. Perhaps you need to clean up all the old (perhaps left over files from previous libpng version). Somehow, IM is getting confused on them or the more current one is not including png.h or not overriding the older one


Perhaps one version of libpng is installed in usr/bin and another in /usr/local/bin

[meltemi]

Thank you! You've been very helpful...and patient!

So there appear to be a few:

$ find /usr | grep "png.h"
/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/imagpng.h
/usr/local/include/libpng14/png.h
/usr/local/include/png.h
/usr/X11/include/libpng12/png.h

This is taking me into unchartered territory. If I were to just remove the last one that appears to be the culprit (/usr/X11/include/libpng12/png.h) what kind of havoc would ensue?

Also, now seeing X11 I'm wondering if compiling the libwmf library may have created my problems? :

$ cd libwmf-0.2.8.4
$ make clean
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.
$ ./configure --without-expat --with-xml --with-png=/usr/X11 --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ sudo make install

This library was compiled after libpng but before ImageMagick during yesterday's sudo make install marathon trying to get ImageMagick working... It's the --with-png=/usr/X11 flag that catches my eye. No idea what it's for. I'm just following basic guidelines I took from https://github.com/masterkain/ImageMagi ... tall_im.sh.

[fmw42]

At this point, it is going beyond my unix abilities. Perhaps some other unix guru can help further.

All I can suggest is (brute force) remove all libpng components and re-install libpng and then reinstall IM again.

If necessary remove and re-install libwmf also, then re-install it, then libpng, then IM.

[meltemi]

how can I find out what that "--with-png=/usr/X11" flag for libwmf means exactly?

ugh..UNIX.

[fmw42]

Looks like your png.h is coming from your X11 install.

/usr/X11/include/libpng12/png.h

perhaps install libwmf with

--with-png=/usr/local/include/

But again this is just a guess as I am not a unix guru.

Or upgdate your X11 from a more current Xcode Tools that is compatible with your PowerPC version of Mac OSX. (You don't say what you are running -- Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard)

[meltemi]

Hi! So, thank you! You were instrumental in helping me FINALLY sort this out!

I removed the X11 png.h & pngconf.h
then recompiled libwmf without any --with-png flag at all
then recompiled ImageMagick and i can now convert to & from .png

very glad to put this one to rest...for now anyway

Thank you!

[fmw42]

Glad that it finally worked out successfully for you.
