Then, if you wish to upgrade to the latest beta (which compiles cleanly), download it from : http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick and use pecl to install it with “pecl install {name of downloaded file}”

Install the module without building it manually by doing “apt-get install php5-imagick”

I’m in the same place as Travis. I have the newest version of libmagickwand-dev and I get the same error for libmagick9-dev which I am hoping will ultimately fix the make error

i think you missed to install: libmagickwand-dev
run this
sudo apt-get installl libmagickwand-dev

Hi, again, Ivan

When I ran libmagick9-dev, it said:
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package libmagick9-dev has no installation candidate

it still gave me the same error when i installed imagick. Here’s the pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/m74ca08ae

Hi trav,
please run this command:
sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev

then re-run
sudo pecl install imagick

Cheers.

hello, mister ivan! im having issues after doing: the last part of the 3-line installing imagick: “sudo pecl install imagick”, gave me this error:

make: *** [imagick_helpers.lo] Error 1
ERROR: `make’ failed

i have installed php5-dev package.
what do i do first? =( my box is ubuntu 9. i’m assuming there was a remaining incomplete install in the box since it gave that error. how do i clean it first? or do i have to do that? i’m really the noob of all noobs.

thank you!

Hi Mehdi,
Please be sure you install php5-dev package.
or you can use this command for ubuntu/debian: sudo apt-get install php5-dev
Note: if you use php4, use install php4-dev instead.
