Ah - ok... Thanks for the tip - will give the repositories a shot.

Imagemagick is available in the standard repositories for ubuntu (remember all ubuntu derivitives share the same base repositories). So unless you have a good reason to compile from source there is no need. I am guessing however from that error message you are getting is because you do not have gcc and base librarys required installed to do compilation... do: apt-get install build-essential - will fix your problem.

But so will apt-get install imagemagick

;-)

You may need to add multiverse and universe repositories to your /etc/sources.list file

i.e:

# Ubuntu community supported packages
# GPG key: 437D05B5
deb http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty universe multiverse
deb http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security universe multiverse

Hope this helps



Kind regards

    Hi all,
    Trying to install Imagemagick on my XUbuntu system.
    Tried the following:

    1) Downloaded the .gz file - OK
    2) Uncompressed the file using gunzip - OK
    3) Did a "./configure"
    Error message: "C compiler cannot create executables"


    Any idea?
