| Summary | 0000002: identify.exe fails on PDFs and AIs | ||||
| Description | The command line tool indentify.exe fails to work on PDF and AI files. The error message is: identify: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `delegates.xml' The file "delegates.xml" *does* exist, though. Apparently, ImageMagick looks for its configuration files below the directory that was defined via "configure --prefix". This is likely to affect other situations that require access to the configuration files, too. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Invoke identify on any PDF or AI file: identify test.pdf identify test.ai | ||||
| Additional Information | A solution could be to follow the UnixOS2.org approach and install ImageMagick in /usr and respect the UNIXROOT=<drive:> environment variable. Maybe also just using configure prefix=/usr would work but maybe only if ImageMagick is invoked from the drive it is installed on. | ||||

According to the documentation at www.imagemagick.org, you can specify the location of the configuration files using MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH - ie set MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH=U:\imagemagick\lib\ImageMagick-6.2.6\config The full list of environment variables is at: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/resources.php#environment I'll add this to the readme before doing a publich announcment. |

That's a lot of settings that need to be added to CONFIG.SYS then. The page says that an "uninstalled" copy of ImageMagick also looks for the files below the directory set via MAGICK_HOME. If you could produce an "uninstalled" version, people could place ImageMagick where they like and simply SET MAGICK_HOME in CONFIG.SYS. Anyway, I tried setting MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH and ImageMagick invoked Ghostscript. That crashed with the following message: Error: /undefined in pL Operand stack: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval- - 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- fa lse 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringva l-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1132/1686(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:70/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Current file position is 4 AFPL Ghostscript 8.53: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 identify: Postscript delegate failed `h:/download/pdf/01agbn.pdf'. As far as "undefined in pL" is concerned, "pL" are the first characters of a temporary file that identify.exe created. Strange. |

Does just setting MAGICK_HOME help with finding delegates.xml? I only tested with MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH but maybe MAGICK_HOME is sufficient... I got as far as it needing ghostscript and stopped - I'll try reproduce this failure tonight... I have a build of ghostscript done with innotek gcc - maybe this will help somehow.... |

No, MAGICK_HOME doesn't work at all. According to the documentation this variable is only processed if ImageMagick has no hard-coded paths. |

OK - http://smedley.info/ImageMagick-6.3.1-os2.zip seems to resolve the issues with conversion of EPS and PDF files using convert.exe and gs.exe |
|
|
Oops not quite there, whilst "convert Document-1.pdf test.png" works, "convert m:\Document-1.pdf test.png" fails with a similar error to previous described |
|
|
"convert \Document-1.pdf test.png" & "convert /Document-1.pdf test.png" also work so it's something to do with the way the path gets passed to ghostscript. Most probably, convert is removing anything prior to the colon as generally that is the image type, ie convert ppm:image.ppm |
