I would like to add that the Imagick extension to PHP doesn't work because of this.
Here's a demoscript to illustrate just this. <?php for($i = 1; $i < $argc; $i++) { $f = $argv[$i]; try { $img = new Imagick($f); $img->setImageFormat("jpg"); $img->setCompression(Imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG); echo "Scaling image $f\n"; $img->thumbnailImage(1024, 768, TRUE); echo "Writing image $f\n"; $img->setCompressionQuality(80); if($img->writeImage("output/". basename($f)) !== FALSE) { } else die("Fuck: writeImage() -> FALSE\n"); } catch (Exception $e) { echo "EXCEPTION: Failed to process $f:" . $e->getMessage() ."\n"; } } ?> $ php knark.php source/*.jpg PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613/imagick.so' - libWand.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 Fatal error: Class 'Imagick' not found in knark.php on line 7 -- PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613/imagick.so' - libWand.so.9 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
