Can't compile - library not found
Posted: 2007-02-08T11:56:44-07:00
Hi,
I need to install ImageMagick & PerlMagick on a linux webserver on which I do not have root. I can only write within my home directory and I cannot run anything from /sbin, including ldconfig.
When I compile and install imagemagick in my home directory using the --prefix and --with-perl-options=PREFIX= flags with configure, PerlMagick does not work. This seems to be because the Magick.so file cannot find the libMagick.so.10 file:
Now, if I set up an environmental variable in my shell, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, that points to the location of libMagick.so.10 in my home directory, then Magick.so will work. But this does not help me with what I really need it to do, because when I run PerlMagick from a web server, there is no way to set the environmental variable before Magick.so is loaded (that I know of), so it fails (often crashing the web server, incidently).
Now it seems to me that there should be a way to compile imagemagick so that Magick.so already knows, by itself, where to get libMagick.so.10. However, I have not been able to figure out how to do this. I have read the Advanced Unix Install documentation, and googled, and experimented, and asked elsewhere (including in the PerlMagick section here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8133&p=25860 ).
Can anybody here help me to do this? It seems like something that imagemagick should be able to do. I imagine there are many people who want to install it to run on a webserver on which they don't have root access.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
