[Magick-bugs] Problems with ImageMagick C++ interface on x86_64

[Geoff Quelch]

Hi,
I am attempting to build an existing, working application (on an x386
architecture machine) on a new system, x86_64, Redhat EL AS 5.2 and
kernel 2.6.18-92.el5xen.

I initially attempted to build the application with the ImageMagick
RPMs provided with RedHat which are currently version 6.2.8. This
resulted in an assertion failure, as documented in the RedHat
bugzilla; https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439915

This entry contains a test case and information on the error I am receiving:

magick/splay-tree.c:903: RemoveNodeByValueFromSplayTree: Assertion `splay_info
!= (SplayTreeInfo *) ((void *)0)' failed.

In order to try and get a working application I erased the RPMs and
installed the latest code, from source, version 6.4.1. With my test
case I get a different assertion failure:

[quelch at adws00 image_bug]$ g++  `Magick++-config --cppflags --cxxflags
--ldflags --libs` main.cpp -o bugtest
[quelch at adws00 image_bug]$ ./bugtest
bugtest: magick/exception.c:374: DestroyExceptionInfo: Assertion
`exception->signature == 0xabacadabUL' failed.
Aborted

When I built I ran the "make check" and nothing seemingly unusual occurred:

========================================================
All 697 tests behaved as expected (33 expected failures)
========================================================

Any suggestions would be welcome at this point.

Regards,
Geoff Quelch
