Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello,

I have hit a wall in building ImageMagick 6.3.6 in AIX 5.2. I am using gcc 4.0.0 as the compiler. The compile is failing on linking coders/art.la. I get a long list of undefined symbols that all appear would be part of the ImageMagick build.

Below is the error and the configure command I used.

Thanks,
Paul

Here is the configue command I used:

./configure \
--prefix=/opt/freeware \
--with-bzlib=no \
--with-dps=no \
--with-fpx=no \
--with-fontconfig=no \
--with-gslib=no \
--with-gvc=no \
--with-jbig=no \
--with-jp2=no \
--with-lcms=no \
--with-magick-plus-plus=no \
--with-openexr=no \
--with-rsvg=no \
--with-tiff=no \
--with-wmf=no \

I figured it out. I have an older version of ImageMagick installed on this server. The value -L/opt/freeware/lib was causing the linker to find the older library before finding the new library in magick/.libs. By renaming the older library I was able to get past this error.

What do I need to do to avoid this issue in the future?
