Hi, I just faced a problem during the installation of image-1.0.7.tar.gz under octave-3.0.1
octave:2> pkg install image-1.0.7.tar.gz /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lMagick collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [__magick_read__.oct] Error 1 error: 'make' returned the following error: make: Entering directory `/tmp/oct-7k4nfJ/image-1.0.7/src' mkoctfile __cordfltn__.cc mkoctfile __bilateral__.cc mkoctfile __custom_gaussian_smoothing__.cc mkoctfile bwlabel.cc mkoctfile bwfill.cc mkoctfile rotate_scale.cc mkoctfile hough_line.cc mkoctfile graycomatrix.cc mkoctfile deriche.cc mkoctfile __bwdist.cc mkoctfile nonmax_supress.cc mkoctfile jpgwrite.cc -ljpeg mkoctfile jpgread.cc -ljpeg mkoctfile pngread.cc -lpng mkoctfile pngwrite.cc -lpng mkoctfile __magick_read__.cc `Magick++-config --cppflags` -lMagick++ -lMagick make: Leaving directory `/tmp/oct-7k4nfJ/image-1.0.7/src' error: called from `pkg:configure_make' in file /usr/share/octave/3.0.1/m/pkg/pkg.m near line 1245, column 2 I solved this issue by doing a dirty hack: cd /usr/lib && ln -s libMagickCore.so libMagick.so this solved the error because libMagick has been simply renamed by libMagickCore by the imagemagick dev team. A correct solution should be to use Magick-config during the makefile generation process. Indeed, the command Magick-config --libs returns: -L/usr/lib -lMagickCore which is correct. regards -- Pierre Gronlier ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list Octave-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
