I sympathize with you on the lack of "god" authority. I'm in the same boat.

I think we need a new group - "Yahips" - Young at heart i professionals.

Subject: Re: Need help with installing ImageMagick from PERLZ site

Thanks much, Aaron - just to confirm - do I actually need root authority
to put ibmichroot in place? And once I have ibmichroot in place, can I
just run it withOUT elevated authority, without the directory parameter,
and I'll be able to install things to the root level of /QOpenSys? That
I'll essentially have root authority?

Otherwise I can get our systems guy to help out.

Hey, I'm not at a job where I can just have "god" authority anymore! :(

I sure hope I'm using the right terms! It's been years (20) since I
first played around with Debian on my home PC - dual-boot - Win3.11 over
DR-DOS (maybe!!) - the original DOOM! and Duke Nukem in DOS, as I
recall! My 12-year-old son loved it all!

Regards
Vern

PS - can I still qualify to be in Yips?

Hi Vern,

You should download the ibmichroot** (IBM i ChRoot) project instead. This
is the current/maintained way of obtaining packages from perzl.org. The
ibmichroot project also occupies option 3 of 5733OPS (which is another way
to obtain the project).


Steps to install:
1: Download ibmichroot (quickest IMO). http://bit.ly/ibmichroot-download
2: Unzip and place in /QOpenSys/ibmichroot


As Justin noted, there isn't yet an installation file (xxxxx.lst) for
ImageMagick. For the sake of being exhaustive, here are the steps to
accomplish that end.

1 - See what the latest version of ImageMagick is by going to this URL
which displays all rpm files available on perzl.org:
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/ (side note, Graphics
Magick exists on perzl.org at the aforementioned URL)

2 - Searching the page for "ImageMagick" we
find ImageMagick-Q8-6.8.1.10-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm. I am *guessing* that this
is the one you want based on a couple Google searches. There are many more
on that page.

3 - Go to this URL to obtain the rpm dependencies that ImageMagick relies
on: http://www.oss4aix.org/download/rpmdb/deplists/aix53/ Look for the
same-named .deps file(ImageMagick-Q8-6.8.1.10-1.aix5.1.ppc.deps) and open
it in a text editor. Should be the following:

bzip2-1.0.5-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm
expat-2.1.0-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
fontconfig-2.8.0-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
freetype2-2.4.11-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
gettext-0.10.40-8.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
jasper-1.900.1-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
jbigkit-libs-2.0-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
lcms-1.19-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
libiconv-1.14-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
libjpeg-8d-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
libpng-1.5.13-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
libtiff-4.0.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
libwebp-0.1.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
libxml2-2.9.0-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
xz-libs-5.0.4-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
zlib-1.2.3-4.aix5.2.ppc.rpm

5 - Create IFS file: touch
/QOpenSys/ibmichroot/imagemagick-q8-6.8.1.10-1.lst

6 - Populate the .lst file with the following and make sure to include an
extra blank line at the bottom of the file. Basically you tack on the URL
to the beginning of the aforementioned rpm list.

:rpm
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/bzip2-1.0.5-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/expat-2.1.0-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/jasper-1.900.1-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/jbigkit-libs-2.0-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/lcms-1.19-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/libxml2-2.9.0-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/xz-libs-5.0.4-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/zlib-1.2.3-4.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/ImageMagick-Q8-6.8.1.10-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

7 - Run the following:

$ cd /QOpenSys/ibmichroot
$ ./pkg_setup.sh imagemagick-q8-6.8.1.10-1.lst

8 - Issue a pull request to the ibmichroot project with your changes.
(optional, but would be appreciated)

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
