Can't install on OSX

[aleclarson]

On OSX v10.10.4, I've tried npm install imagemagick-native on:

• io.js v3.0.0
• io.js v1.6.2
• NodeJS v0.12.4
• NodeJS v0.10.36

What should I do? :smile:

This is your problem:

/usr/local/bin/Magick++-config: line 53: pkg-config: command not found
/usr/local/bin/Magick++-config: line 56: pkg-config: command not found

This module (node-imagemagick-native) is a binding for the native (C++) ImageMagick library. You must first have that installed, for example using brew etc.

I did do that. But it's still not working.

If I try brew install imagemagick, it outputs Warning: imagemagick-6.9.1-1 already installed.

Perhaps it's installing in the wrong location?

Here's the output after running brew uninstall imagemagick and then brew install imagemagick again.

Sorry for not being clear! When I said "the library" I meant the stuff usually packaged for developers - that is, not only the shared library but also the headers etc. To the best of my knowledge, this isn't part of the standard ImageMagick package, which only includes the runtime for using the software itself.

(By being a native binding, node-imagemagick-native actually uses the same interfaces as ImageMagick itself rather than invoking the binary.)

[aleclarson]

So I shouldn't be using brew install imagemagick?

Or do I need to install something else entirely?

Thanks for the replies! :smile:

[elad]

Hm, maybe it's related to #95 then. I'll have to find a time to look more into it.

I don't know if this has been resolved but I have had the same issue recently. The way I fixed it was to link to the directory that contains the pkg-config in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

The following steps outline how this is achieved:

1. Find the location of your pkg-config folder for imagemagick, to do this I ran the command locate Magick++.pc, make a note of this, mine was /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
2. vi ~/.bash_profile
3. Add the following line to the end of the file export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH, edit for your package folder.
4. Save and exit the file
5. You now need to load in the changes: source ~/.bash_profile
6. Try the installation again. I found that the only way I could install it after this was to use the github URL git://github.com/mash/node-imagemagick-native.git, not sure why.

I hope this helps.

/usr/local/bin/Magick++-config: line 56: pkg-config: command not found

Isn't this output complaining about not finding "pkgconfig" and not about "imagemagick"?

So how about doing sudo brew install pkgconfig?
