Re: Need help with installing ImageMagick from PERLZ site

Thanks Justin!!

My basic need right now is to convert PNG files to another format, as I described below. And I need to be able to do this using QP2SHELL or QP2SHELL2.

Between you and Aaron I'll maybe make almost a useful PASE guy.

I will not be developing anything in PASE - just need to get something installed for use in production. So although I played around with bash 20 years ago, when first playing with Debian on my home machine, I don't need all its bells & whistles, I don't think.

If there were something other than ImageMagick that would run more outside of PASE, that'd be fine - I wondered about a Java solution - I've seen examples using the Java libraries, but I'd probably have to write something and am not prepared to learn enough for that right now - nor is my boss!!

So I'll proceed - I assume again that running the stuff in ibmichroot requires elevated authority in order to install stuff?

Thanks again
Vern

Vern,

As an aside, ImageMagick has fallen out of favor and an someone needs to
make an AIX rpm of GraphicsMagick. However, it will get the job done.

I think you need to be QSECOFR, but I really don't know.

5733OPS Option 3 GCC uses the Perzl RPMs, so if you install that, and read
Bucks thread on the steps for installing that it will give you a lot of
prerequisites including wget and the rpm binary.

So I would suggest getting your operations guys ti install 5733OPS option
3, setting up your PASE environment with bash (because the PASE default
shell lacks autocomplete and such), and then you should be able to do the
following


- cd to /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/GCC
- there are a bunch of .lst stream files in there. Copy
pkg_perzl_joe-3.7-1.lst
<https://bitbucket.org/litmis/ibmichroot/src/86008b98fe8a63cccfb7614254e4ab21b82dae0b/pkg_perzl_joe-3.7-1.lst?fileviewer=file-view-default>
to
imgmgk.lst and open the new stream file however your comfortable. I
prefer vi, but you probably don't.
- Edit that file and change the url for the joe rpm to the rpms for
ImageMagick and eveerytihng it requires.
- From that folder in PASE run ./pkg_setup.sh imgmgk.lst
- Bask in your success or report your errors here

Hi all

I want to get the latest version of ImageMagick for a project - to
convert PNGs to GIF or TIFF.

I had put Scott's bundle on - it's an older version and includes libpng
and libxml, and not libtiff.

I tried to follow Tony Cairns' article at Yips -
http://yips.idevcloud.com/wiki/index.php/PASE/OpenSourceBinaries

As often seems the case, there are assumptions made that I don't know
when working in the AIX-ish world. So I have at least a couple questions.

1. Do I have to be QSECOFR or have *SECOFR class to get these things to
install completely or at all?
- I downloaded everything as instructed, got the stuff into
/QOpenSys/download, etc.
- Executing setup2.sh, I got a bunch of "objects not deleted", as I
recall
2. I was able to get the dependencies list using wwwperzl.sh and list
things and all.
3. When I ran wwwperzl with the wget option, I got lots of "wget not
found" - so it was not installed using the setup shell script

I've been OK'd to ask our systems guy to help out - and I want some
clarifications before I go there.

Hope that's enough to help y'all figure out what'll help me!!

Cheers
Vern
