Another issue with installing on Mac OS

[antonk52]

I am using imagemagick-native on my server and it works like a charm. However on my local machine

• Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6
• Node v6.10.1
• npm v3.10.10

I keep running into issues. I already had installed with brew

• pkgconfig v0.29.2
• imagemagick v7.0.5-4

After running npm i -S imagemagick-native I ran into following error

> imagemagick-native@1.9.3 install /Users/Anton/Documents/node/bcnspots/node_modules/imagemagick-native
> node-gyp rebuild

Package Magick++ was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `Magick++.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

After looking at following

#120
JustinTulloss/zeromq.node#50
#109
#98

I added following to my .profile file

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

But the output of npm i -S imagemagick-native remains the same as above.

If I try to echo the path I get the following

> echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:

Is there something I am missing or is there a missing step of the installation process?

Thank you

Hey! A few people have reported issues with this module lately. Unfortunately, I haven't used it in years because I'm no longer working on the project that required it. So I can't offer much insight - definitely not in a reasonable time - into how to make things work. :( It could be that newer versions of the compiler are more strict, that newer versions of the libraries/modules are incompatible, or really, a lot of other things.

If you can't figure out a solution, I recommend looking at native javascript modules (like Jimp) before digging deeper into C++ bindings. :) Good luck!

[cartuchogl]

@antonk52 could you try with imagemagick v6.9.x. 6.9.6 is the version that I use on macos 10.12.3

[antonk52]

thank you for your answers @elad and @cartuchogl

If I try to install a 6.9v, I first remove IM with brew uninstall imagemagick and then I get this

> brew install imagemagick@6.9
Error: No available formula with the name "imagemagick@6.9"
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
Error: No formulae found in taps.

same for @6.9.6

But I succeeded with brew install imagemagick@6

Then when I tried to install the npm module I got the same as the first result

so I found where the Magick++.pc was and added following

But when I tried to install the npm module it gave me the same output

[zinne]

Had the same issue with Sierra 10.12.5
What I did to get it worked:
First uninstalled all:
$ brew uninstall imagemagick
installed imagemagick v6:
$ brew install imagemagick@6 --force
check if pkgconfig is installed and set permissions:
$ brew install pkgconfig && chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
Link:
$ brew link imagemagick@6 --force
do the path bla brew told me:
$ echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/imagemagick@6/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Finally reinstalling works with no errors...
$ npm install imagemagick-native --save

[nebulr]

@zinne that fixed it for me thanks. As a sidenote I had to additionally add the --force flag for the uninstall

[johnelliott]

Thank you @zinne. The exact version of imagemagick 6 got when I installed @6 was different, so I needed: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick@6/6.9.9-9/lib/pkgconfig/

[terion-name]

@zinne catalina, not working :(

[MoSofi]

@terion-name were you able to get it to work on Catalina? I am also unable to get it to work on Catalina 😞
