cannot find -lMagick++-6.Q16

Question

I try to install magick R package but I get error:

My LIB_DIR and INCLUDE_DIR looks like that:

export LIB_DIR="$STATIC_LIB/lib/ $STATIC_LIB/lib/libcurl.a \

export INCLUDE_DIR="$STATIC_LIB/include -I/usr/include/cairo \
-I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 \

-I$MPI_HOME/include \
-I/path/apps/imagemagick/7.0.7-8/x86_64-linux-2.6-rhel6/include/ImageMagick-7"

include contains:

ls /path/apps/imagemagick/7.0.7-8/x86_64-linux-2.6-rhel6/include/ImageMagick-7
Magick++  MagickCore  Magick++.h  MagickWand

I found this question but my lib directory contains similar set of files:

ls /path/apps/imagemagick/7.0.7-8/x86_64-linux-2.6-rhel6/lib/
ImageMagick-7.0.7               libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.so.4

libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.la      pkgconfig
libMagickCore-7.Q16HDRI.so

I'm using imagemagick 7 so why it still requires some flag/arg -lMagick++-6.Q16 from version 6 ?

Answer 1

If pkg-config and Magick++-config are not available, the magick package defaults to ImageMagick v6 :

PKG_LIBS="-lMagick++-6.Q16"

So you will have to install version 6. In addition you might also report an issue asking to support version 7 in the case of a installation without pkg-config/Magick++-config .

Alternatively you can try to get pkg-config/Magick++-config working on your machine. If pkg-config/Magick++-config can be used, the flags provided from there are used directly.

Answer 2

I've finally managed to install magick . I compiled ImageMagick v6 from source and installed R package with following set of env variables:

STATIC_LIB="/path/static-zlib-gcc6.3"
IMAGEMAGICK_V6_HOME="/path/ImageMagick-6.9.10-10"

export LIB_DIR="$STATIC_LIB/lib/ \
-L$IMAGEMAGICK_V6_HOME/lib"

export INCLUDE_DIR="$STATIC_LIB/include \
-DMAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE=1 -DMAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH=16 \
-I$IMAGEMAGICK_V6_HOME/include/ImageMagick-6"

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$IMAGEMAGICK_V6_HOME/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$IMAGEMAGICK_V6_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
