Re: Need help with installing ImageMagick from PERLZ site

[Justin Dearing <zippy1981@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
http://www.graphicsmagick.org/

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
