Install ImageMagick & RMagick on RHEL5

Posted by: imarichardson In: Programming & Development

Are you trying to get Rmagick by way of Imagemagick on you RHEL5 box. Remember to use “yum” instead of “update2″.

First you’ll need to install ImageMagick $ sudo yum install ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel
Now configure, setup and make $ sudo mkdir /home/imins $ cd /home/imins $ sudo wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz $ sudo tar -zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz $ sudo cd ImageMagick* $ sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared=yes $ sudo make && make install

Note: the last command (make & make install) will take a long while to run
Install the RMagick gem $ sudo gem install rmagick

Thanks to NDCHost, Cyberciti and Creativist for the help.

Great page. Thanks for the help and clarity, esp. regarding Setp #2.

But I’m curious to know what exact version of GCC and libgomp you are running ?

My step #3 is failing on a brand-new RHEL5 install, with the following revs:
gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)
libgomp.x86_64 4.1.1-52.el5.2 installed
libgomp.i386 4.1.1-52.el5.2 installed

Unfortunately, step #3 and/or compile RMagick from source seems to be giving me a problem on RHEL5, seemingly due to a problem with my version of libgomp.so maybe having been compiled (by RedHat?) with a ‘nodlopen’ flag.
Running ‘gem install rmagick’ aborts with : ‘LoadError: libgomp.so.1: shared object cannot be dlopen()ed ‘. If I build RMagick.so manually and install it, I get the same exact message from within irb when running: require ‘RMagick’.
There is reference to a bug which may be related at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28482

But I’m totally stumped as to why you seem to have NOT run into any such problems or issues when simply running:
gem install rmagick

Thanks.

to overcome the libgomp stuff looks like you need to compile imagemagick –disable-openmp http://betterlogic.com/roger/?p=413

rogerdpack: mod_rails might work for this, too--hopefully more reliably.
