Installing ImageMagick & Ghostscript on Ubuntu

howto.md

1. You have Ghostscript installed, right? Otherwise sudo apt-get install ghostscript
2. This is important and installs the headers (iapi.h etc) which are required but don't come with the default Ghostscript package: sudo apt-get install libgs-dev
3. I also needed sudo apt-get install gs-esp
4. For me the pre compiled version of ImageMagick never accepted Ghostscript, so let's remove it: sudo apt-get --purge remove imagemagick
5. Get the source of ImageMagick, untar it, cd ImageMagick-xx
6. ./configure --with-gslib=yes [and what else you need]
7. Confirm in the output near the bottom gslib yes yes and not gslib yes no
8. make
9. make install
10. Run convert -list configure | grep DELEGATES => DELEGATES bzlib djvu freetype gs jpeg jng jp2 lcms png tiff x11 xml zlib
11. See the gs in there? You got it!

Hi, good work, but where is the step 7? I don't confirm nothing...
I launch "./configure --with-gslib=yes" and to end I read "gslib yes no", where "yes" is on option column and "no" is on value column... How Do I set this value to yes?

thanks

ps whole response ./configure:

ImageMagick is configured as follows. Please verify that this configuration

I have the same problem, don't change the value for OpenJP2 with: ./configure --with-openjp2=yes --with-jpeg=yes

OpenJP2 --with-openjp2=yes no

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this gist! It's a bit outdated, but here's what I got to work for me on Docker for a Rails app.

• gs-esp no longer exists
• If installing via a Dockerfile, the order matters (see below)
• it plays nice with imagemagick so no longer need to run make or make install 😄

FROM ruby:2.3.0

RUN apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y \
  ghostscript \
  libgs-dev \
  imagemagick

Thanks! Simply adding "ghostscript" to our Dockerfile apt-get lines solved an issue with Rmagick, ImageMagick, and "Font not found".
