I installed ImageMagick using the --disable-openmp option and this solved the problem. Curiously however, when I would check which version of convert it came back with /usr/local/bin/convert as opposed to /usr/bin/convert which was where the honorific hostgator s/a staff installed it leading to the disaster.
% which convert /usr/local/bin/convert I ran convert without forcing the path and it balked and took about 9 seconds. Then when I ran it with the full path, it worked flawlessly: /home/www% uptime ; date ; /usr/local/bin/convert oak_tree.jpg -resize 480 -strip oak_tree480.jpg ; date ; uptime 21:50:56 up 13 days, 1:24, 2 users, load average: 0.17, 0.52, 1.22 Tue May 11 21:50:56 CDT 2010 Tue May 11 21:50:56 CDT 2010 21:50:56 up 13 days, 1:24, 2 users, load average: 0.17, 0.52, 1.22 I installed a second time using he --prefix option but it did not seem to make any difference. ./configure --disable-openmp --prefix /usr/bin I thought this would overwrite the /usr/bin/convert but it did not. Do you have to do a dash or perhaps double-quote /usr/bin in order for it to be recognized? To get past this in the meantime I rename /usr/bin/convert and created a hard link from /usr/local/bin/convert. Probably should do the same with identify if this is the only way. -Bob _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
