RE: ImageMagick/PerlMagick

["Bill McCormick" <wpmccormick at covad dot net>]

The saga continues ...

Exerpt from my \usr\src\ImageMagick-5.5.7\PerlMagick\README.txt:

    Next, edit Makefile.PL and change LIBS and INC to include the
    appropriate path information to the required libMagick library. You
    will also need library search paths (-L) to JPEG, PNG, TIFF,
    etc. libraries if they were included with your installed
    version of ImageMagick. If an extension library is built as a
    shared library but not installed in the system's default
    library search path, you may need to add run-path information
    (often -R or -rpath) corresponding to the equivalent library
    search path option so that the library can be located at
    run-time.

I think I'm missing something when I try to make the necessary edits to
Makefile.PL. Maybe somebody could have a look. I think I need a -R or -rpath
but I'm not sure exactly where to put it. I just made changes to the INC and
LIB sections adding -L/lib (which is where some of the extension libs are)
and the -I\usr\local\include\magick -I\usr\local\include\Magick++. Not sure
if I need the Magick++; I can't figure out what I left out at this point.
Something else of note is that when I run perl Makefile.PL the output is ...

$ perl Makefile.PL
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lMagick
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgdi32
Writing Makefile for Image::Magick

I would have to think that the fact it can't find the lib for -lMagick is
not harmless (i.e. bad.)

Thanks.

Finally going to sleep now.
