Ubuntu – Can’t install cpan module Image::Magick

cpanimagemagick

This question still has no solution (scroll down to "EDIT 5" to see the actual status)

I am trying to install Image::Magick on my headless Ubuntu server Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

Obviously the install-script is trying to include the header-file magick/MagickCore.h but can't find it.

When I search in search engines for magick/MagickCore.h then I find lots of postings where some people have the same problem and ask for, but instead of solution i did only find lots of answers saying "I have the same problem" – no solution.

Does anyone of you have a solution that works on a Ubuntu Server 14.04.2 ?

Edit 1:
I already installed the package ImageMagic:

# apt-get install imagemagick

But I still get the error posted above.

Edit 2:
Following the advise from one of the answers I also tried

# apt-get install php5-imagick

followed by

# cpan install Image::Magick  

And I still get the same error (script can't find magick/MagickCore.h)

Edit 3:
I followed another advise and searched for magick/MagickCore.h. the answer was:

libmagickcore-dev: /usr/include/ImageMagick/magick/MagickCore.h

So I installed libmagickcore-dev (I exected sudo -i before):

apt-get install libmagickcore-dev

This installation was successful, the previously missing header-file is now in the file system:

# find / -name MagickCore.h
/usr/include/ImageMagick/magick/MagickCore.h

So I again tried

cpan install Image::Magick

But I still get this error:

Magick.xs:60:31: fatal error: magick/MagickCore.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
 #include <magick/MagickCore.h>
                               ^
compilation terminated.

Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden« is German, my native language, and means »no such file or directory«)

Edit 4:
Someone told me that the compiler is looking for magick/MagickCore.h not in /usr/include/ImageMagick/ but in /usr/include/ImageMagick-6/. So I created a symbolic link:

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

and tried again to install the module:

# cpan install Image::Magick
...

                ^

So, the script did find magick/MagickCore.h, but now throws lots of other errors.


EDIT 5 (2015-09-17)

I've got the hint to install

apt-get install perlmagick

But it said, that the newest version already is installed. But I tried to install Image::Magick anyway. It still doesn't work:

This is the first error reported:

tmp-18091 for tmp-18091: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden at /usr/share/perl/5.18/CPAN/Distribution.pm line 468.

which probably is in english:

Best Answer

Diego's solution works.

A similar procedure has worked for me for versions ImageMagick-6.9.1 and ImageMagick-6.9.5.

Build Image::Magick perl module from source

Go to: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php

Download a tar.gz file from one of the mirrors:

ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/graphics/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.9.5-8.tar.gz

Extract into ~/home/src:

$ cd ~/home/src
$ mv ~/Downloads/ImageMagick-6.9.5-8.tar.gz .
$ tar xzvf ImageMagick-6.9.5-8.tar.gz

Configure Image Magic with Perl Bindings

$ cd ImageMagick-6.9.5-8
$ ./configure --with-perl
$ make

Make sure perl dev files are installed

$ sudo-apt get install libperl-dev

Install Image Magick

$ make install  # or sudo make install

Check that it works:

$ perldoc Image::Magick
