Cannot locate header file MagickWand.h during imagick configuring

Tux · Mar 18, 2013

I'm trying to install ImageMagick and imagick on my Centos 6.3 box. This box is running directadmin, hence I thought this might be a good place to start.

I've searched on google for an hour or so, and I can't really find anything that solves this.

# Wand-config --version
6.8.3 Q16
]# convert --version

Version: ImageMagick 6.8.3-9 2013-03-14 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

Kernel 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5

I have installed this ImageMagick the following way:
# yum install ImageMagick.x86_64 ImageMagick-devel.x86_64

I've also tried it without the x86_64 on the end, and it installed both (also i386). But the problem still occured.

When I download imagick from source 3.0.1 (stable), untar it, use phpize and then configure I get the following error:

checking for MagickWand.h header file... configure: error: Cannot locate header file MagickWand.h

If I use pecl (pecl install imagick) I get the same error as well.

Strangely enough, MagickWand.h is on my system. It's in 2 directories:

/usr/include/wand/MagickWand.h
/usr/local/include/wand/MagickWand.h

I have found this:
http://serverfault.com/questions/484850/installing-imagick-php-extension-on-centos-6-3-64bit

But I couldn't solve my problem with that information.

I hope one of you guys recognizes this problem and give me some pointers

I have not seen your error before. However, if you like to try to install from source again, then I have made a how-to here: http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=44449 - I have updated the guide every time theres been needed changes, and it works very well for me on CentOS 6.4 64bit.

Thanks for you reply, I'm trying it out now.

Did you notice imagemagick's version has been changed ? Your tut uses 6.7.9-2 but there's a newer one out there.

I'll let you know if it works.

Your tutorial didn't work. I stumbled upon the same problem again.

I also needed to modify a small part of your tutorial. I needed to change the imagemagick version to the newest, but also the imagemagick-devel.x86_64 wasn't hosted so I needed to pick http://www.imagemagick.org/download/linux/CentOS/i386/ImageMagick-devel-6.8.3-10.i386.rpm .

http://www.imagemagick.org/download/linux/CentOS/x86_64/ as you can see here.

I hope you have some advice for me

I confirm that I have the exact same problem.
I hope someone can help me too.

I am having the same issues, on CentOS.

following Ditto's guide, stuck at step 5 with "make" command.

checking for MagickWand.h header file... configure: error: Cannot locate header file MagickWand.h
[root@cp1 imagick-3.1.0RC2]# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I fixed the issue. Its invalid path in configure.

In my case my ImageMagick.h file was located in /usr/local/include/ImageMagick-6/wand/

so i created a symbolic link to the path since its looking for /ImageMagick with no "-6"

ln -s /usr/local/include/ImageMagick-6 /usr/local/include/ImageMagick

bingo! configure works....

bluebirdnet · Mar 24, 2013

An other issue i resolved.

/usr/local/bin/identify -list configure
/usr/local/bin/identify: error while loading shared libraries: libMagickCore-6.Q16.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

fixed with ldconfig /usr/local/lib

then running it again

/usr/local/bin/identify -list configure

Path: /usr/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.8.3//config-Q16/configure.xml

I'll try it tomorrow. In any case thanks for your response !

Now when I try to make imagick I get the following errors:

/root/imagick-3.0.1/imagick_class.c:9669: error: âstatusâ undeclared (first use in this function)
/root/imagick-3.0.1/imagick_class.c:9672: error: âMagickFalseâ undeclared (first use in this function)
/root/imagick-3.0.1/imagick_class.c:9673: error: âExceptionTypeâ undeclared (first use in this function)
/root/imagick-3.0.1/imagick_class.c:9673: error: expected â;â before âseverityâ
/root/imagick-3.0.1/imagick_class.c:9673: error: âseverityâ undeclared (first use in this function)
/root/imagick-3.0.1/imagick_class.c:9673: error: too many arguments to function âMagickGetExceptionâ

So strange, I have installed imagick a lot of times, but suddenly I can't get it to work anymore.

I have found the solution to this. It is because /ImageMagick/ is hardcoded in a imagick file, and in newer versions of ImageMagick that a folder is named with a version number, hence imagick can't find the folder and give you this error when you do ./configure:

Code:

checking for MagickWand.h header file... configure: error: Cannot locate header file MagickWand.h

I found the solution in this forum post: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22887#p95800

What you need to do is first go to this path: /usr/local/include/ In that path you look for the ImageMagick folder, in my case it was named "ImageMagick-6", but the version number might change in future, therfor first check that path to see what number there is in you ImageMagick folder name.

Then, after doing:

Code:

wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.1.0RC2.tgz
tar zxf imagick-3.1.0RC2.tgz

You edit this file: /root/imagick-3.1.0RC2/config.m4

In that file you change line number 55 that looks like this:

Code:

if test -r $WAND_DIR/include/[B]ImageMagick[/B]/wand/MagickWand.h; then

you change it to look like this:

Code:

if test -r $WAND_DIR/include/[B]ImageMagick-6[/B]/wand/MagickWand.h; then

Then you continue the commands:

Code:

cd imagick-3.1.0RC2
phpize
./configure
make
make install

I will update my guide, or post a link in my guide to this post.

The solution you need.

That can be resolver usually be specifying your PKG_CONFIG_PATH before you build.

for example I had to run:
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.1.0RC2.tgz
tar -zxvf imagick-3.1.0RC2.tgz
cd imagick-3.1.0RC2
ln -s /usr/local/include/ImageMagick-6 /usr/local/include/ImageMagick
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
phpize
./configure
make
make install
echo "extension=imagick.so" >> /usr/local/lib/php.ini
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

That installed for me with no problems, however your PKG_CONFIG_PATH might be different. Run an:

updatedb && locate pkgconfig

To verify if you have problems, ENJOY.

Hi Fred, I'm getting the same error trying to install Image Magick. Is the command wrong? Did you figure out how to get it installed?
