ImportError: MagickWand shared library not found. You probably had not installed ImageMagick library.

MagickWand-sucks.md

Wand==0.3.7, Python 3.4.3, OSX EI Capitan 10.11

when run from wand.image import Image it throw errors:

ImportError: MagickWand shared library not found. You probably had not installed ImageMagick library. Try to install: brew install freetype imagemagick

ok, first I try this:

brew install freetype imagemagick, but

Warning: freetype-2.6_1 already installed Warning: imagemagick-6.9.2-4 already installed

what's the fuck?

run convert -h

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/convert Reason: Incompatible library version: convert requires version 19.0.0 or later, but libfreetype.6.dylib provides version 16.0.0 Trace/BPT trap: 5

Ok, Incompatible library version, I got you!

So here is the final solutions for me.

1. brew uninstall freetype imagemagick
2. brew install freetype
3. brew link --overwrite freetype
4. brew install imagemagick

If anyone is still suffering, this worked for me:

export MAGICK_HOME=/opt/homebrew/opt/imagemagick

@juliansrepository THANKS !! only thing that worked

@juliansrepository thanks a lot, I spent a lot of time solving the problem, but everything turned out to be much easier)

If anyone is still suffering, this worked for me:

export MAGICK_HOME=/opt/homebrew/opt/imagemagick

Working for me. Thanks 👍

If anyone is still suffering, this worked for me:

export MAGICK_HOME=/opt/homebrew/opt/imagemagick

Thanks, this works

This was close. What worked for me was:

# install imagemagick v6
brew uninstall imagemagick
brew install imagemagick@6
brew unlink imagemagick
brew link imagemagick@6 --force

# ~/.bashrc
export BREW_PREFIX=$(brew --prefix)
export MAGICK_HOME="$BREW_PREFIX/opt/imagemagick@6"

now able to import pdftotree as expected on an M1 Pro.
